Aurora Orion contract FA8620-12-C-3027
~$86.56m aggregated · completion extending to 2019
Public award aggregation for the BIG SAFARI / Orion definitive contract. Transaction-level FPDS history — especially modifications August 2013–March 2014 — is still open. Budget authority, ceilings and obligations are not the same as cash spent.
AFRL selected Orion for MAGIC Phase 1 under a reported $4.7m contract on 15 Sep 2010 — distinct from later 645 AESG obligations. Highest-value financial reconstruction still needed across FA8620-12-C-3027 (Aurora), FA8620-11-G-4020 (Sierra Nevada / Gorgon Stare), FA8620-11-G-4050 (Raytheon MTS-B), and Blue Devil/Mav6 vehicles, then cross-referenced to 8 March 2014.
