Amentum has won a $39 million contract to support the Army’s Combat Capabilities and Development Command Soldier Center’s Soldier Protection and Survivability Directorate to provide research, development, test and evaluation services.
Amentum was awarded this contract under the Defense Department’s Information Analysis Center’s multiple-award contract vehicle. These task orders are awarded by the Air Force’s 774th Enterprise Sourcing Squadron to enhance the Defense Technical Information Center repository and the R&D and science and technology community.
“One of the most impactful programs we can work on are those related to soldier survivability,” said Jill Bruning, president of Amentum’s IS4 Strategic Business Unit. “Our experts will help to explore a variety of ways to ensure combatants are well-protected and remain mission capable on the battlefield, improving outcomes in all types of military engagements.”
Under this contract, Amentum, in conjunction with the SPSD at Natick Soldier Research, Development and Engineering Center (also known as Natick Labs), will develop new solutions and improved capabilities based on the needs of soldiers.
The work will focus on enhancing lethality through protection and survivability on current and future battlefields, to include sensor threats, environmental threats, ballistic and blast threats, chemical and biological threats, and directed energy threats.
