U.S. Air Force awards KBRwyle $34.1M for air traffic safety, cyber threats support

KBR, Inc. announced Monday that the U.S. Air Force (USAF) awarded its global Government Services business, KBRwyle, a $34.1 million task order to provide analytical and engineering weapons systems support to assist with air traffic safety and cyber threats.

KBRwyle will support the USAF’s Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) Engineering Directorate’s Engineering and Communication Network Branch, which provides engineering, integration, technical advice and direction to all AFLCMC weapon system program offices and other organizations.

KBRwyle will provide various services including cybersecurity assessments, cyber resiliency strategy development, system engineering analyses and Air Traffic Management / Identification Friend or Foe (ATM/IFF) component testing and certification for Department of Defense (DoD) and foreign military sales requirements.

The work will take place primarily at Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio and Warner Robins Air Force Base in Georgia.

The task order award period is 54 months. The Air Force awarded this cost-plus-fixed-fee task order under the DoD’s Information Analysis Center’s (IAC) Defense Systems Technical Area Task (DSTAT) multi-award contract. KBRwyle won a seat on the DSTAT contract in June 2014.

“From defending against cyber threats to ensuring air traffic safety, KBRwyle is committed to supporting the Air Force through this new contract,” KBRwyle President Byron Bright said. “Our depth of technical and programmatic experience and engineering expertise makes us uniquely qualified to fill this role.”
