L-3 Communications’ services unit will provide the US Navy with engineering support for military landing systems and combat unmanned aircraft system programmes, the Defense Department announced on Friday.
The company won a $14.49 million contract to provide the branch with technical assistance, software development, prototyping, integration and maintenance for joint precision approach and landing systems.
Contract work will also include test and evaluation, systems analysis, test data acquisition, reduction and analysis, technical logistic support, configuration management, training support and programme and project management.
Ninety-five percent of the work will occur in St. Inigoes, Md. and the rest will occur in Providence, R.I. and Chicago.
The Pentagon expects work under the cost-plus-fixed-fee contract to finish by October 2012 and the Naval Air Warfare Center’s aircraft division in Patuxent River, Md. is the contracting activity.
