Lockheed Martin wins SS-AISR task order
Lockheed Martin has received the $733 million Sensor Systems - Aerial Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (SS-AISR) task order from the US Army Contracting Command – Aberdeen Proving Ground (ACC-APG), the company announced on 21 June.
The task order is part of the army's R2-3G indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract vehicle. The contract has a one-year base period and two one-year options.
Under the SS-AISR task order, Lockheed Martin will support the ACC-APG to modernise platforms and sensor equipment that support AISR data collection, air- and ground-based processing, dissemination and exploitation for missions across the world.
As part of the contract, Lockheed Martin Information Systems & Global Solutions (IS&GS) will provide personnel to train, operate, manage and maintain logistical infrastructures, facilities, equipment and systems in order to improve, sustain and operate equipment performance as well as reduce life-cycle costs for the supported systems.
The team will also carry out Airborne Crew Coordination, Intelligence Analyst, Sensor Maintainer and Airborne Sensor Operator training of US Army soldiers at several locations.
The contract will run from May 2016 to July 2017 and until March 2019 if the two one-year extension options are exercised.
TW Scott, vice president of technical services at Lockheed Martin IS&GS, said: ‘Our team is bringing the latest airborne technology advancements to the soldiers in the field, ensuring greater mission success and warfighter protection.’
