(AMCOM Contributed/256 Today)

KBR, Inc. won a $207 million Department of Defense Information Analysis Center (DoD IAC) multiple-award contract vehicle from the U.S. Air Force’s 774th Enterprise Sourcing Squadron.

The five-year contract task order is for performing multi-disciplined analyses and developing recommendations to enhance the capabilities of the Phased Array Tracking Radar to Intercept on Target (PATRIOT) missile systems. Most of the work will be performed at Redstone Arsenal and at KBR’s new Huntsville offices at Redstone Gateway in Huntsville.,

The contract supports modeling and simulation efforts to analyze the overall system performance of the PATRIOT, which is a critical component for air and missile defense that protects ground forces and high-value assets by countering a variety of enemy short- and medium-range tactical ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and unmanned air vehicles.

KBR will perform extensive and complex analyses; studies; performance runs; M&S; actual live fire, search, track, and flight test missions; hardware-in-the-loop testing; and development and test activities to validate and verify full ground and missile system performance.

“KBR has provided uninterrupted systems engineering support to the PATRIOT missile system for decades,” said Byron Bright, KBR government solutions president. “We’re proud to continue that support and to further our shared goal of protecting U.S. forces and allies through enhancing the capabilities of the PATRIOT missile system.”
