KBR selected for NAVWAR IDIQ contract
The US Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (NAVWAR) has selected KBR to install shore-based command, control, communications, computer, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C4ISR) systems at locations worldwide.
KBR is one of eight awardees on the Shore Global C4ISR Installations multiple award IDIQ contract which has a maximum ceiling of $986 million and includes an initial five-year base plus a five-year option.
The contract includes services such as C4ISR maintenance, modernisation and new system installation. These services can include decommissioning and modernisation of existing shore facilities, programme and project management, engineering designs and training as well as installation design and installation of integrated C4ISR systems.
Byron Bright, KBR president, US government solutions, said: ‘KBR is ready to ensure that the military has the necessary tools to keep its advantage on physical and virtual battlefields. A modern, top line C4ISR infrastructure is essential to making real-time threat analysis that leads to actionable insight, reducing risk to valuable assets and people.’
