The SCMG and AFLCMC manage all common avionics for the USAF, including the global positioning system, precision attack systems, ground radio communications, RQ-4 Global Hawk, B-52 Stratofortress and the E-3 airborne warning and control systems.
KBR was awarded this task order under the Department of Defense Information Analysis Center's (DoD IAC) multiple-award contract by the USAF Installation Contracting Center. KBR has supported the mission of the DoD research and development community through various predecessor DoD IAC contracts since 2005.
Under the cost-plus-fixed-fee task order, KBR will identify and address diminishing manufacturing sources and material shortages, and provide software analysis and information assurance. KBR will also assist with reliability, maintainability, quality, supportability and interoperability issues with avionic systems, line replaceable units and shop replaceable units.
KBR will primarily perform these tasks at Robins Air Force Base in Georgia in addition to other US locations. The task order award period is five years.
“This new contract gives KBR another avenue for assisting the US military in sustaining weapon systems to meet the challenges of the future,” said Byron Bright, president of KBR Government Solutions US.
The DoD IAC program operates as a part of Defense Technical Information Center and provides technical data management and research support for DoD and federal government users. Established in the 1940s, the IAC program serves the DoD science and technology (S&T) and acquisition communities to drive innovation and technological developments by enhancing collaboration through integrated scientific and technical information development and dissemination for the DoD and broader S&T community.
KBR is a global provider of differentiated professional services and technologies across the asset and program life cycle within the government solutions and energy sectors. KBR employs approximately 37,000 people worldwide (including our joint ventures), with customers in more than 80 countries, and operations in 40 countries, across three synergistic global businesses; government solutions, technology solutions, and energy solutions.
