The U.S. Navy has awarded a $92 million contract to BAE Systems for air traffic control and landing systems operations on board Navy ships and shore-based sites, the company announced Wednesday.
The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division awarded the indefinite-delivery/ indefinite-quantity contract for the span of five years.
"Under the new contract, BAE Systems will continue to provide fleet services, technical support, and operational software development and maintenance to support various air traffic control and landing systems for the U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Coast Guard, Military Sealift Command, and international customers," the company said.
Work done under the contract will be completed in Great Mills, St. Inigoes, and Patuxent River in Maryland; Chesapeake, Virginia; and San Diego, according to BAE Systems.
The contract is the latest for the company tapped to lead the Global Combat Air Program's multinational development of a next-gen, supersonic fighter jet. Earlier this month, the U.K., Italy, and Japan signed a treaty to collaborate on the development of the stealth fighter, which the countries say will be delivered to their respective air forces in 2035.
