HII Mission Technologies won a $209 million contract to help develop and sustain the U.S. Air Force’s fighter and bomber weapons systems and subsystems.
The HII team will perform research and analysis to support the USAF’s weapons systems development, sustainment and long-term strategy.
“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 business unit.
Under the 5-year task order, HII will help the 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 across various warfighting scenarios, the company said.
“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 Defense Department Information Analysis Center multiple-award contract was issued by the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center. Work for the task order will be performed at Wright-Patterson, Tinker, Robins and Hill Air Force bases.
