- MANTECH has been tasked by the U.S. Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division, to conduct research, development and engineering of platforms as it phases out legacy technologies and acquires new systems
- The five-year, $197 million project will cover areas such as surface tracking and interceptor missile guidance
- MANTECH has secured at least $2 billion in government contracts since 2025
The U.S. Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division, has selected MANTECH for a $197 million contract to provide research, development, engineering, testing and evaluation services that will support upgrading legacy systems as well as implementing new technologies, the company announced Wednesday.
“This work will not only help ensure that the Navy’s surface radar systems will be equipped with the latest technology to safeguard against threats like drone, hypersonic, electronic warfare, and conventional missile threats, but will also develop and test future capabilities for the systems through new prototypes, predictive reliability and various operational analysis,” said Matt Tait, MANTECH CEO and president, and a four-time Wash100 winner.
U.S. Navy officials will be at the Potomac Officers Club’s 2026 Navy Summit on August 27 to discuss information warfare readiness, artificial intelligence in fleet construction and other innovations. Sign up now to gain new procurement insights.
What Are the Details of the Contract?
The five-year project will work toward the development of critical technologies used in air and surface tracking, interceptor missile guidance, and digital counter communication. The RDT&E will also cover integration into existing radar and electronic warfare systems owned by the Department of War. The contract aims to address obsolete components, ensure critical fleet resilience and reduce lifecycle support expenses.
What Are MANTECH’s Recent Contract Wins?
In April, MANTECH secured a spot in a potential $875 million contract to provide full-spectrum cyber systems to an unnamed U.S. intelligence agency. The company was also granted a $199 million cybersecurity services contract by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in May 2025. One of its biggest projects in the past year is a $910 million task order to supply the U.S. Southern Command with network modernization guidance and infrastructure for future artificial intelligence adoption.
