AAR today announced that it has been selected by the US Army Aviation and Missile Command (AMCOM), Huntsville, Alabama, to upgrade and modifythe Government of Egypt's Integrated Air Defense Command and Control System. This work will be performed by AAR Precision Systems located in Huntsville, Alabama. The contract is valued at approximately $8 million.
The Integrated Air Defense Command and Control System is a single command and control, communication, computer, ntelligence and battle management (C4I/BM) network designed to integrate airborne and land-based air defenses. AAR will upgrade and modernize the system by replacing older electronic components with advanced solid-state circuitry to increase reliability and operability, minimize obsolescence issues and increase system longevity. AAR is currently under contract to support the Government of Egypt on a separate engineering services program administered through the US Army.
"AAR is proud to continue its support to the Government of Egypt through our relationship with the US Army's Security Assistance Command," said Terry Stinson, Group Vice President of AAR's Structures & Systems segment. "We have been involved in the development and maintenance of missile defense systems for over 20 years and have unique, high-value repair, refurbishment, sustainment and obsolescence mitigation capabilities."
