BAE wins BC3 support contract
BAE Systems has won a support contract from the US Army space and missile defence command for the Battlespace Command and Control Center (BC3), the company announced on 11 February.
The two-year contract will see BAE Systems provide hardware, software, and systems integration support for the BC3. This will minimise downtime for critical systems and enhance warfighter abilities to analyse and manage data.
The initial value of the contract is $11.8 million, and its two-year value is estimated at $23 million. BAE will upgrade mobile training suites and provide network and system administration support to the non-organic radar access programme.
Mark Keeler, vice president and general manager, integrated electronics and warfare systems, BAE Systems, said: 'We are enhancing system readiness and increasing the warfighter's ability to process critical information.'
