BAE Systems reports it will provide hardware, software, and systems integration support for the U.S. Army's Space and Missile Defense Command. The services will be for the command's Battlespace Command and Control Center for a period of two years for a total estimated value of $23 million. Under the contract, BAE Systems will upgrade mobile training suites and provide systems and network administration support to the Non-Organic Radar Access program, minimizing the downtime of critical systems. The support will also improve the capability to analyze and manage increasing volumes of data. "Our experts are helping U.S. forces quickly identify ground, air, space, and undersea threats to national security," said Mark Keeler, vice president and general manager of Integrated Electronics and Warfare Systems at BAE Systems. "We're enhancing system readiness and increasing the warfighter's ability to process information that's critical to protecting our men and women in uniform." BAE Systems said it was issued the award under an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract it has held for the past six years.
