  The Space Force contract is a ceiling. EchoStar parentage and the Hughes Satellite Systems Chapter 11 status need a primary filing before family links are recorded. Observed baseline contract obligations on exact UEIs (summary generation 20261018T193655Z, source data through 2026-10-06; gross positive, by awarding department): DHS $4,873,789 (2010-2026); DOD $64,909,119 (2008-2026). Not a company-wide total.

Hughes Network Systems supplier roles

Roles are cited research, not award totals: a payment basis names the kind of money the evidence supports, and a missing amount is unknown, not zero. Browse all government suppliers.

Direct is the company's own reviewed UEIs. Reported by USAspending is subsidiaries as reported by USAspending: recipients that name this company as their parent, not yet reviewed ownership.

Each action counts for the company USAspending reported on that row, so a subsidiary's dollars count for Hughes Network Systems only for the period it reported Hughes Network Systems as its parent. Net of de-obligations; these are obligations, not ceilings. They come from the whole USAspending baseline (every recipient size, contracts and assistance) and are a separate view from the curated contract totals on this page. Fiscal year 2027 is partial.

Maturity and TRL describe this organization's work; the field-wide maturity is on each technology's page.
