Textron Subsidiary ATAC Lands $199M Navy Contract for Airborne Threat Simulation

Textron Systems subsidiary Airborne Tactical Advantage Co. has secured a $199.1 million firm-fixed-price contract from the U.S. Navy for Contracted Air Services Type VI aircraft.

Contracted Air Services Type VI Contract Scope

Under the indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract, ATAC will deliver highly modified business jet aircraft to Navy fleet customers, the Department of Defense said Wednesday. The aircraft, owned and operated by the company, will provide various airborne threat simulation capabilities. These will be leveraged for training and evaluating shipboard and aircraft squadron weapon systems, operators and aircrew. The program aims to develop personnel and assets to enhance their electronic combat environment capabilities, particularly against enemy stand-off jamming operations.

The Newport News, Virginia-based company will perform work at San Diego, California and Virginia Capes, Virginia. The project is anticipated to be completed by October 2030. Funding will not be obligated at the time of the award, but upon issuance of each task order. The contracting activity is the Naval Air Warfare Center, Aircraft Division in Patuxent River, Maryland.
