Aerospace and defense firm Curtiss-Wright Corporation has secured a 10-year, $287 million indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract from Edwards Air Force Base (AFB) – Air Force Test Center (AFTC).
The contract maintains a base period of five years, valued at $123 million, followed by a five-year option period, with Curtiss-Wright providing High Speed Data Acquisition System (HSDAS) aerospace instrumentation technology to support AFTC flight test programs.
“We are pleased to have been selected by Edwards Air Force Base to provide our aerospace instrumentation technology for use on the Air Force Test Center’s flight test programs,” Curtiss-Wright Corporation Chair and CEO Lynn M. Bamford said. “This is the largest award received by our Aerospace Instrumentation team and is a strong example of our long-standing relationships and continued support of critical U.S. flight test center objectives.”
Bamford said the agreement reinforces the company’s commitment to providing the most advanced and reliable integrated high speed flight test instrumentation systems and builds on its legacy as a leading supplier of data collection and flight test instrumentation solutions for use on fighter jet, bomber, hypersonic vehicle, cargo, rotary wing, and missile programs.
Curtiss-Wright Defense Solutions is slated to perform the work and fulfill the IDIQ delivery orders primarily at its TTC (Teletronics) facility in Newtown, Pennsylvania, and its IADS facility in Palmdale, California.
