12 Oktober 2022 - 5:00PM
HII (NYSE: HII) announced that its Mission Technologies division
has been awarded a $76.7 million task order by the U.S. Air Force
(USAF) to perform research, analysis, test and evaluation that will
support and inform USAF decisions related to electronic warfare
(EW) and electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) capabilities development.
“We are pleased to extend our partnership with the U.S. Air
Force on a strategy to ensure EW and EMS dominance and enable the
U.S. to maintain its advantage over a rapidly evolving global
threat,” said Grant Hagen, president of the division’s Cyber,
Electronic Warfare & Space business group. “The award
reinforces the USAF’s confidence in our team, and we look forward
to executing the contract.”
The EMS superiority development task order was awarded under the
Department of Defense Information Analysis Center’s (DOD IAC)
multiple-award contract (MAC) vehicle. The USAF 774th Enterprise
Sourcing Squadron, part of the USAF Installation Contracting
Center, awards DOD IAC MAC task orders through a competitive
process.
HII has been supporting the program since 2017 and is teamed
with DCS Corporation, Modern Technology Solutions Inc., On-Line
Applications Research Corporation, Southwest Research Institute and
Vanderbilt University to perform the work over five years.
The HII team will develop technical recommendations for the
Advanced Capabilities and Strategic Integration team — part of
the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) Electronic
Warfare and Avionics Division — that provide AFLCMC leaders with
decision quality information regarding EW and EMS capability
development and modernization. Areas of research may include
artificial intelligence and machine learning, cyber and
microelectronics among others.
HII’s research and analysis will be leveraged by the USAF to
reduce technical risk, provide mature technologies, and deliver
systems engineering rigor needed to improve warfighter
survivability at reduced total lifecycle cost.
