BAE Systems awarded two US Navy contracts

BAE Systems recently was awarded two indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contracts totaling more than $150 million with the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD).

Both contracts support the sustainment and rapid integration of command, control, communications, computers, combat systems, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C5ISR) systems.

“Our engineers specialize in providing custom, tailor-made C5ISR solutions to help close communications capability gaps for the U.S. military,” Mark Keeler, vice president and general manager of BAE Systems’ Integrated Defense Solutions business, said. “BAE Systems takes pride in keeping the lines of communication open for those on the front lines of national security.”

The first contract is for five years and has a maximum value of $83 million. BAE Systems will provide life-cycle sustainment for platforms used by the Navy, Homeland Security, Special Operations Forces, and other Department of Defense and nondefense agencies.

The second contract also is for five years and has a maximum value of $68 million. BAE Systems will provide rapid integration and production services for C5ISR systems onboard small and large militarized vehicles and air platforms.

Work will take place within NAWCAD’s Special Communications Mission Solutions Division’s production facility in St. Inigoes, Md., and at the local Fleet Readiness Center in Jacksonville, Fla.
