The federal government recently awarded Texas-based science, technology and engineering company KBR’s Mission Technology Solutions business a $95 million digital engineering and enterprise decision support contract to rapidly advance digital engineering capabilities for the U.S. Space Force.
“This award highlights KBR’s ability to move urgently, think strategically and advance digital engineering solutions that drive mission outcomes,” Jay Lennon, Mission Technology Solutions senior vice president, said. “By integrating advanced software, systems engineering, modeling and simulation and operations research, we help our customers field critical space capabilities faster and with greater confidence.”
Under the terms of the contract, KBR will develop analytics-driven space warfighting technologies and space systems over a five-year period of performance that will support Space Force missions at the Air Force Research Laboratory’s Space Warfare Directorate.
Work will be performed at Kirtland Air Force Base in New Mexico, and KBR will accelerate the transition of next-generation space capabilities from concept to operational deployment with the goal of strengthening mission readiness in a rapidly evolving threat environment.
KBR supports rapid analysis, architecture development and requirements planning to accelerate technology maturation and operational readiness.
KBR operates in more than 28 countries, serving governments and companies in more than 85 countries and employing approximately 36,000 people worldwide.
