HII (NYSE: HII) announced today that its Mission Technologies division was awarded a $209 million contract to support the development and sustainment of the U.S. Air Force’s (USAF) fighter and bomber weapons systems and subsystems. The HII team will perform research and analysis that will support the USAF’s weapons systems development, sustainment and long-term strategy. Under the five-year task order, HII will provide support to the U.S. Air Force Fighters and Advanced Aircraft and Bomber Directorates’ efforts to provide the USAF, other U.S. military branches and partner nations with fighter and bomber weapons systems that operate effectively across various warfighting scenarios.
“HII is excited to build upon our Air Force Life Cycle Management Center work, helping to optimize the customer’s approach to developing, fielding and maintaining fighter and bomber platforms and subsystems to maximize their readiness and lethality,” said Grant Hagen, president of Mission Technologies’ Cyber, Electronic Warfare and Space (CEWS) business unit.
“Weapons systems need to be developed and maintained at a level that ensures they are mission-capable anytime, anywhere and meet the evolving needs of the Air Force, Joint services and coalition partners,” said Eric Wright, vice president of CEWS operations.
The U.S. Department of Defense Information Analysis Center (IAC) multiple award contract (MAC) was issued by the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center. IAC MAC task orders are awarded by the U.S. Air Force’s 774th Enterprise Sourcing Squadron to develop and create new knowledge for the enhancement of the Defense Technical Information Center repository and the research and development and science and technology community. Work will be performed at Wright-Patterson, Tinker, Robins and Hill Air Force bases.
