“We’ve had a long-standing and successful relationship with
SMDC,” said DeEtte Gray, president of BAE Systems’ Intelligence
& Security sector. “We provide specialized support in the
research, development, integration, testing, demonstration, and
small-scale production of prototypes designed with, and for, the
soldier. We’re committed to helping the Army develop the new
technologies it needs to gain a greater tactical edge on the
battlefield and accomplish a wide array of complex missions.”
In addition to assisting with prototype design, the task orders
call for the support of component testing, as well as the
integration of prototypes into systems and subsystems that can be
evaluated in a laboratory, or relevant environment, with limited
operational system testing. The contract is reflective of the
Army’s innovative “concept to combat” design approach, which
expedites the roll-out of important next-generation
technologies.
The requirements outlined in the new IDIQ enable the company to
build on its 16-year legacy of critical mission task support under
SMDC’s long-running Concepts and Operations for Space and Missile
Defense Integration Capabilities (COSMIC) contract.
BAE Systems provides intelligence and security services to
manage big data, inform big decisions, and support big missions.
BAE Systems delivers a broad range of solutions and services
including intelligence analysis, cyber operations, IT, systems
development, systems integration, and operations and maintenance to
enable militaries and governments to recognize, manage, and defeat
threats. The company takes pride in supporting critical national
security missions that protect the nation and those who serve.
