DULLES, Va., Feb. 10, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon
Company (NYSE: RTN) has been awarded an indefinite delivery,
indefinite quantity contract with a potential value of $270 million by the U.S. Navy's Air Systems
Command to support V-22 Osprey systems, testing and software. The
work will be performed by Raytheon Intelligence, Information and
Services at its facility in Indianapolis,
Ind.
Under the contract, Raytheon IIS employees will provide V-22
software support activity systems and software engineering,
avionics integration, testing, and acquisition support. This work
begins this month and is planned to conclude December 2019.
"We have been part of the V-22 program since its start. Our
expertise in modernizing aircraft like V-22 will ensure its pilots
have the best tools to be combat effective and return safely," said
Todd Probert, vice president for
Mission Support and Modernization. "We continue to focus on
affordable solutions that help our customers sustain and modernize
their existing fleets instead of bearing the enormous cost of
procuring new platforms."
The V-22 is a joint-service, multi-mission combat aircraft that
combines the mobility of a helicopter with the long-range,
high-speed cruise performance of a turboprop aircraft.
