This contract, say the company, includes support for a variety of MDC5ISR products including small craft, transportable systems, en-route communication systems, and intra-platform systems.
The U.S. Navy has awarded BAE Systems a contract worth approximately $86 million to continue supporting its Mobile Deployable Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Combat Systems, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (MDC5ISR) programs.
“As a leading systems integrator, our team brings an unmatched level of expertise to the program,” said Lisa Hand, Vice President and General Manager, BAE Systems Integrated Defence Solutions.
“We have provided quick reaction, integrated C5ISR solutions on this program for more than 35 years and we are proud to continue our support to warfighters deployed around the globe.”
The US Government and their armed forces have seemingly always had faith in BAE, unlike at times some of our politicians and MoD.
Don’t look at BAe ship repair in the States then …Its worse that the UK by a country mile.
The US military shipyard repair is awful. Then the costs of upgrading it is absolutely eye watering and slow.
If anyone ever thinks their country’s forces are good at wasting money look at the USA. It makes everyone look better😂😂😂
Mate… I work as a contractor on US Vessels. I am not complaining on how they spend their cash!
I do get insight from their engineers on CONUS ship yards and they don’t like BAe
Good info. Many thanks.
What concerns me is that you have the defence giants Lockheed, Boeing, Bae etc etc.
They have the defence market (and politicians) so tied up there are no small innovative companies entering this closed shop industry to lead us.
For example, a royal naval officer designed the ski ramp for our carriers (he got £25k, but today that innovation would be ‘taken’ by the big ones. Who cares about innovating when you get done over?
