Amentum (NYSE: AMTM) has been awarded a $105 million contract to
support Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane (NSWC Crane) Airborne
Electronic Attack Systems Division (AEASD) to develop the next
generation of Electronic Warfare (EW) and Intelligence,
Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) mission and survivability
systems. Amentum will replace aging or obsolete components and
systems and install state-of-the-art technology to enhance the
capabilities of EW and ISR systems, delivering critical expertise

to enhance the total lifecycle management of advanced surveillance
systems, including vehicle integration, platform integration,
sensor integration, supply chain security, obsolescence analysis,
and anti-tamper technologies. Amentum will use its Integrated
Digital Engineering Approach (IDEA) to identify critical enabling
technologies and develop new approaches and opportunities for
technology transfer and integration to keep pace with continually
emerging and evolving threats. This will drive continued
technological superiority by incorporating quick-reaction analysis
and rapid engineering development principles.
