BAE Systems to modernise US Navy C5ISR
The US Navy has awarded BAE Systems a five-year indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract to modernise and maintain its C5ISR systems. The contract is valued at $90 million.
C5ISR includes networked and integrated command, control, communications, computers, cyber, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance systems used in the navy's vehicles, watercraft and specialised communications platforms. These systems are integrated and networked to improve a military operator’s situational awareness.
‘Technology is constantly evolving and the mission needs of our customers can change,’ said Mark Keeler, vice president and general manager of BAE Systems' Integrated Defence Solutions business. ‘As systems integrators, we are providing agile engineering, testing, and field support to help our military customers adapt and maintain a tactical edge.’
