MCLEAN, Va. — The U.S. Navy’s Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) has awarded BAE Systems Inc. a prime position on a $212 million contract to integrate and sustain its critical communication systems, the company said in a release.
The company will design, acquire, integrate and test radio systems for newly constructed guided-missile destroyers (DDGs) and other Navy and U.S. Coast Guard ships.
Additionally, the company was awarded a separate $104.7 million contract by NAWCAD to provide engineering and technical services to support production, lifetime-support and in-service engineering for the radio communications C5ISR (command, control, communications, computers, combat systems, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance) systems aboard Navy surface combatants and at shore sites. The work will be focused primarily on the CG 47-class and DDG 51-class Aegis ships.
“Maintaining reliable lines of communication and situational awareness for those at the forefront of national security is a mission-critical priority for BAE Systems and our customers,” said Mark Keeler, vice president and general manager of BAE’s Integrated Defense Solutions business.
“We’re proud to continue supporting the integration of combat systems and solutions for the U.S. Navy as they defend against advanced air, surface and subsurface threats.”
