L-3 Communications has been awarded a contract for electro-optical and infrared sensors and features for the U.S. Air Force. The deal, announced Friday by the Department of Defense, is valued at $90 million under the terms of an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract. The agreement provides the U.S. Air Force with electro-optical and infrared sensors and features, along with an option to purchase MX series turrets and features.

The Air Force has obligated $10,140 to L-3 Communications from fiscal 2018 operations and maintenance funds upon the award with the first order under the contract.
