HII’s Mission Technologies division has won a spot on the Missile Defense Agency’s Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense, or SHIELD, contract, a potential $151 billion indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity award.
The enterprise contract supports rapid competition and delivery of new capabilities to the warfighter, speeding the fielding of advanced missile defense technologies.
For HII, the award positions Mission Technologies to expand its work across directed energy, command and control integration, data and cyber operations, microelectronics, spectrum management, live, virtual and constructive training, logistics and sustainment, the company said.
“We’re honored to support MDA on this important SHIELD mission,” said Andy Green, executive vice president of HII and president of Mission Technologies. “It reinforces our commitment to advancing national security and protecting the homeland. SHIELD represents a critical element of the current vision for homeland defense, and we’re excited to bring our expertise in directed energy, microelectronics and systems integration to help meet these mission needs.”
