February 18, 2025 | BAE SystemsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
In November 2024, the U.S. Navy awarded BAE Systems a five-year, $251 million contract to provide the AEGIS Technical Representative (AEGIS TECHREP) organization with critical large-scale system engineering and on-site technical expertise for the complex combat system configurations for the U.S. Navy, the Missile Defense Agency, and the Foreign Military Sales program.
“For more than 40 years, BAE Systems personnel have collaborated closely with Sailors and civilians to enhance and modernize the fleet of AEGIS-equipped surface ships,” said Lisa Hand, vice president and general manager of BAE Systems’ Integrated Defense Solutions business. “Our team possesses extensive expertise in AEGIS and Ship Self-Defense Combat Systems, combined with the agility, innovation, and technical skills necessary to provide the U.S. Navy with the safe and effective combat capabilities required to achieve its mission goals.”
Under this contract, BAE Systems will provide high-quality services in systems engineering, test and evaluation, logistics, system acquisitions, and cybersecurity. Most notably, the company has contributed to the acceleration of the Program Executive Office Integrated Warfare Systems digital transformation strategy by developing and deploying unparalleled digital analytic tools across all these task areas.
These tools provide near real time mission impacts assessments caused by software deficiencies resulting in a greater focus on where best to invest in advancing critical combat capability to the Navy. The work will support Navy sites in Mt. Laurel, New Jersey; Bath, Maine; and Pascagoula, Mississippi.
