According to the publication, the construction contract was signed back in 2021 and is worth $1.8 billion. It is noted that if successful, the US Army and the government will be able to identify potential targets almost anywhere in the world much faster.
Reuters does not say when the new network of spy satellites will be launched, and SpaceX did not respond to the publication's request.
