BAE Systems, Inc. has been awarded a $140 million indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract by the U.S. Navy to provide communications engineering support and integration services. 

From concept through deployment, BAE will customize Command, Control, Communications, Computer, and Intelligence (C4I) systems to provide reliable and secure communications for U.S. warfighters across all domains. 

The contract – which BAE has won for the past 40 years – includes one base ordering year with four option years.

“We are pleased to continue our longstanding partnership with the Navy in supporting secure and robust military operations worldwide,” said Lisa Hand, vice president and general manager of BAE Systems Integrated Defense Solutions business. 

“As the threat landscape continues to evolve, maintaining an information advantage through secure Information Technology (IT) systems is critical. We deliver advanced C4I systems with surety that information access and data transmission are secure and reliable.”

This latest contract will see BAE support the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) Webster Outlying Field Integrated Command and Control and Intelligence Division’s mission with rapid response solutions to close critical communication capability gaps. 

BAE will also provide technical support for IT infrastructure, electronic security systems, and audio-visual and video-teleconferencing.
