DoD noted the contract carries an initial value of 92.1 million and work under the base period covers system design, preliminary design review and system acceptance test services.
EASR will be designed to serve as the Navy’s primary air surveillance radar that will support self-defense, situational awareness and air traffic control systems for Gerard R.Ford-class carriers and other naval ship classes, according to a FedBizOpps summary.
The system will consist of Variant 1 rotating array and Variant 2 fixed-face phased array.
