HII’s Mission Technologies division won a $197 million contract to support the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command’s Ground Vehicle Systems Center.
The 5-year task order was awarded under the Defense Department’s Information Analysis Center’s multiple-award contract vehicle. IAC MAC task orders are awarded by the U.S. Air Force’s 774th Enterprise Sourcing Squadron to develop new knowledge that enhances the Defense Technical Information Center repository and the research and development and science and technology community.
“We look forward to continuing our longstanding relationship with GVSC, building on our 20-year history supporting the center’s important mission,” said Grant Hagen, head of Mission Technologies’ Warfare Systems group.
“Accelerating advanced technology to benefit the warfighter is a priority, and we’re pleased to collaborate with the Army on ground vehicle advancements that will improve soldier safety and mission success on the battlefield.”
As part of this work, HII will research and develop enhancements for GVSC’s ground combat systems and service lifecycle efforts. The focus will be on vehicle power and mobility, and research will apply to the full suite of Army vehicles, from manned and unmanned ground combat vehicles to hybrid, joint light tactical and robotic vehicles.
Work will be performed in Warren, Michigan.
