HOUSTON, Sept. 24,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- KBR (NYSE: KBR) announced it has
been awarded an estimated $113
million task order to perform aeronautical systems research,
development, test and evaluation for the Air Force Life Cycle
Management Center Mobility Directorate (AFLCMC/WL) at
Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio over a period of five years. KBR was
awarded this contract under the Department of Defense Information
Analysis Center's (DoDIAC) multiple-award contract (MAC) vehicle.
These IAC MAC task orders (TOs) are awarded by the U.S. Air Force's
774th Enterprise Sourcing Squadron to develop and create new
knowledge for the enhancement of the DTIC repository and the
R&D and S&T community.
Under the terms of this new contract, KBR will provide program
management analysis, engineering, logistics analysis, security and
cybersecurity analysis, test and evaluation and administrative
analysis. The team will review, update, create and coordinate
various program-related products and documents necessary for the
development and life cycle management of the Future Tankers Program
Office (AFLCMC/WLY). This work will inform programs such as Next
Generation Air-refueling System (NGAS) development and the future
recapitalization of legacy tanker aircraft mission systems.
"KBR is proud to support this new task order and continue to
accelerate the U.S. Air Force's digital transformation journey,"
said Stuart Bradie, KBR President
and CEO. "This win is indicative of KBR's strategic commitment to
be a leader in digital engineering initiatives and support defense
modernization."
KBR's training will equip and foster a digital workforce to
improve analysis and decision-making for successful Digital
Material Management (DMM) implementation. KBR's DMM approach aims
to allow the program to achieve cost and schedule savings while
producing lower-risk and higher-confidence military systems with
shorter timelines.
