ManTech has received a $45 million four-year contract for the technical advancement of sensors used on E-2D Hawkeye aircraft used by US Naval Air Systems Command, the company announced on 15 October.
The Hawkeye aircraft uses integrated, automated sensors to provide surveillance, identification and tracking of threat aircraft and cruise missile systems, for area-wide situational awareness.
ManTech will leverage its experience with sensor integration and support as well as agile software engineering and development techniques to advance sensor performance.
Kevin Phillips, president and CEO of ManTech, said: ‘ManTech’s agile approach to sensor development and platform integration will drive efficiency, add flexibility for adopting emerging technologies and lead the way to new capabilities that enhance the US Navy warfighter’s mission.’
The airborne three-domain, the two ground-based and the ¼ ATR OpenVPX-based cross-domain systems were engineered to provide real-time security across multi-domain operations.
DARPA’s Mission-Integrated Network Control (MINC) programme was set up to develop an autonomous tactical network and enable critical data flow in contested environments.
Why space is an essential part of modern military capabilities
Defence-secure mixed reality headsets can save hours, or even weeks, of travel time to fix defunct equipment or get subject experts effectively “on-site” where they are needed.
The Joint Counter Radio-Controlled Improvised Explosive Device Electronic Warfare (JCREW) counter-improvised explosive device (C-IED) and Drone Restricted Access Using Known Electromagnetic Warfare (DRAKE) counter-UAS (CUAS) systems are mounted and dismounted RF jammers.
