Huntington Ingalls Industries [HII] has been awarded $954 million to provide persistent multi-role and cross-domain intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities to U.S. Air Forces in Europe (USAFE), the company said Jan. 23.
It is the single-largest task order the company has received since HII created its Technical Services division, company spokeswoman Beci Brenton told Defense Daily
on Friday. The contract, awarded by the General Services Administration’s Federal Systems Integration and Management Center (FEDSIM), includes contractor-owned/contractor-operated (COCO) manned and unmanned airborne ISR services in support of Air Force needs in Europe and Africa, as well as for strategic partners in those regions.
“Critical readiness of our defense intelligence enterprise demands unique expertise and advanced technology solutions,” said Garry Schwartz, president of Technical Solutions’ Mission Driven Innovative Solutions group, in a Thursday statement. “Over the last several years, HII has continued to expand its ISR support to the U.S. Air Force and other components of the Department of Defense. We are looking forward to continuing to advance the implementation of innovative ISR solutions for USAFE and across the DOD.”
The task order includes a base period of one year with four option years and a potential value of $954 million.
