General Dynamics‘ (NYSE: GD) mission systems division has received a pair of U.S. Air Force contracts worth $279.3 million combined to help sustain and enhance the U.S. Battlefield Information Collection and Exploitation System.
The company will provide a trusted network environment with cross-domain collaboration and information-sharing capabilities to sustain and enhance coalition operations under a five-year, $239.3 million indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract, the Department of Defense said Tuesday.
DOD expects the capability to enable secure, simultaneous exchange of data among U.S. allies and partner nations worldwide on disparate networks at the secret releasable level.
GDMS also received a two-year, $40 million task order to provide services and related equipment for engineering, development, testing, assessment and deployment of the BICES trusted network environment.
The task order will be funded using the Air Force’s fiscal 2024 research, development, test and evaluation budget.
The Secretary of the Air Force, Concepts Development and Management Contracting Office served as the contracting activity on both awards.
