BAE Systems Technology Solutions & Services has been awarded a $278.5 million Army contract for the Instrumentation Radar Support Program, the United States Department of Defense (DoD) announced in its Thursday publication of military contracts.

Under the contract, BAE “will provide serviceable components and subsystems to include radar, telemetry, and optics systems for 28 test ranges across the Department of Defense, Department of Energy, NASA, and seven foreign governments,” according to the DoD.

BAE was the only company to submit a bid for the firm-fixed-price, cost-plus-fixed-fee, and cost-reimbursable contract. The labor will be conducted in Fort Walton Beach, Fla., and should be finished by Dec. 31, 2020.

Lockheed Martin Missile Fire Control has been given a $360 million modification to an Army contract for Patriot Advanced Capability-3 (PAC-3) interceptor modification price requirements and additions.

Lockheed Martin describes its PAC-3 interceptor as “the world’s most effective air and missile defense interceptor.”

The deal is a modification to a foreign military Army contract for Saudi Arabia, Korea, and United Arab Emirates. The labor will be conducted throughout the United States and should be finished on Dec. 31, 2018.

Lockheed Martin Aeronautics has been given a $30.9 million modification to an Air Force contract for the upkeep of the F-22 Raptor. The labor will be conducted in Fort Worth, Texas, and should be finished by Dec. 31, 2016.

Lockheed Martin has also been given an $8.2 million Air Force contract for the design, development, and integration of size-weight-power and cost (SWaP-C) seeker prototype, which the DoD said will be “capable of providing day and night navigation and precision terminal homing to a weapon platform which may engage moving, locatable and stationary targets in a contested environment where the Global Positioning System may not be reliably available.”

Seventeen companies submitted bids for the contract. At the time of the award, $2.5 million in funds were assigned. The labor will be conducted in Orlando, Fla., and should be finished by Dec. 18, 2017.

Sikorsky Aircraft has been given a $145.1 million modification to an Army contract for 10 MH-60R helicopters, all of which will be used by the Royal Saudi Navy. The labor will be conducted in Strafford, Conn., and should be finished on Oct. 31, 2018.
