ManTech receives UAS systems technical support contract
ManTech has received a four-year $45 million task order from the US Air Force Installation Contracting Agency to provide technical upgrades for next generation UAS technology, the company announced on 2 August.
The contract will see ManTech provide significant technology upgrades for UAS ISR, targeting and precision strike capabilities for the Naval Air Systems Command Persistent Maritime UAS Program Office.
ManTech’s work will support total lifecycle management of airborne systems, including multi-function active sensor radars and electro-optical/infrared ISR systems, for the MQ-4C Triton UAS.
Kevin Phillips, president and CEO of ManTech, said: ‘By bringing digital to the mission we are driving advanced computing, communications and ISR capabilities to the tactical edge so America’s warfighters can put actionable intelligence to work in real time. The end game is to ensure that our military has competitive advantage.’
