US Navy Selects 3 Bidders for $874M Service Contract Posted on March 2, 2012 by The Editor Insitu Integrator AAI, Boeing and a Computer Sciences Corp (CSC)/Saab team were selected by the US Navy today to compete for task orders for services provided by unmanned aircraft systems worth up to $874 million.
While the Navy did not reveal the selected aircraft, AAI offered the latest version of the Aerosonde, Boeing and subsidiary Insitu offered the RQ-21A Integrator, and the CSC/Saab team proposed Skeldar unmanned helicopter.
The services included in the selection include the full spectrum of training, support, installation and operation. The Navy plans to operate the aircraft from ships, while the marines intend to launch the unmanned aircraft mainly from land bases.
“AAI and Insitu are eligible to compete for both sea-based and land-based task orders. CSC is only eligible to compete for land-based task orders,” the navy said.
The three bidders will replace the Boeing/Insitu Scan Eagle as the main UAS provider of intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance services to the navy and maines.
The ISR Services bidders will then be replaced after Fiscal 2017 as the RQ-21 Integrator enters the fleet in numbers under the small tactical unmanned air systems (STUAS) programme.
Raytheon was awarded contract modifications worth a total of $122.5m in support of the F/A-18 weapon system. 06:57 GMT, March 1, 2012 CONTRACTS
