The Navy has reached a five-year agreement worth up to $154 million with BAE Systems for the firm to continue supporting the Naval Air Warfare Center Webster Outlying Field.
“Those on the front lines need rapid integration of the latest technologies to ensure open, clear, secure, and reliable communications,” Lisa Hand, vice president and general manager of BAE Systems Integrated Defense Solutions, said. “Our C5ISR experts will provide custom solutions for military and commercial based communications platforms that will enable enhanced capabilities within the U.S. and abroad.”
BAE Systems is slated to support the rapid integration and sustainment of command, control, communications, computers, combat systems, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C5ISR) systems within the Special Communications Mission Systems Division.
The scope of work also includes BAE Systems’ production and technical leads providing life cycle sustainment, front-end production, and systems engineering, in addition to the installation services at the customer’s Special Communication Rapid Integration Facility.
The result is the delivery of high-quality, integrated components and systems for small and large craft, commercial and militarized vehicles, transit cases, radio and mobile communications, fixed base stations, command centers, and intelligence systems.
The Navy, Special Operations Forces, the Department of Homeland Security, and other Department of Defense and non-defense agencies are slated to receive the completed systems.
