- The Air Force’s 774th Enterprise Sourcing Squadron awards task orders under the DOW IAC MAC vehicle
- MANTECH will support NSWC Crane’s Expeditionary C3 and Cyber Division
- The award follows a $197 million Crane radar contract MANTECH took in July
MANTECH has won a five-year, $345 million task order to conduct research and development on command, control, communications and intelligence, or C3I, and cyber capabilities for Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane Division.
The award falls under the Department of War Information Analysis Center multiple-award contract, or IAC MAC, a vehicle sponsored by the Defense Technical Information Center, MANTECH said Wednesday. The Air Force’s 774th Enterprise Sourcing Squadron issues task orders under the IAC MAC.
Work supports Crane’s Expeditionary C3 and Cyber Division.
What Does the MANTECH Task Order Cover?
The new task order covers R&D and engineering work tied to electronic warfare, strategic missions and expeditionary warfare, concentrating on expeditionary C3I and cyber. That includes integration, testing, training, laboratory research, field engineering, and acquisition and operations analysis.
Matt Tait, CEO and president of MANTECH, said the task order brings the company’s digital engineering, AI capabilities and cyber expertise to Crane.
“As cyber threats evolve in sophistication and scale, safeguarding our national security infrastructure demands tech-forward innovation and cognitive cyber resilience,” the four-time Wash100 Award winner added.
What Other Crane Work Does MANTECH Hold?
In July, the company won a five-year, $197 million contract from Crane to provide research, development, testing and evaluation services for Navy surface radar systems. That work addresses obsolete components and covers air and surface tracking, interceptor missile guidance and digital counter communication.
MANTECH has taken multiple awards under the Information Analysis Center vehicle over the past decade, including an $85 million task order in 2020 to manage an operational test program set for Crane and a $57 million award in 2023 to develop expeditionary weapon systems for U.S. Special Operations Command.
The company also holds a five-year, $1.4 billion task order awarded in December 2024 for cyber work supporting the Interagency Intelligence and Cyber Operations Network.
David Hathaway, defense sector president at MANTECH, said the company’s mission depth and approach let it take on difficult mission challenges.
