ARINC Engineering Services Gains $22M Follow-on Contract for SPAWAR Activities

September 24 , 2007

Annapolis, Maryland—ARINC Engineering Services, LLC, has received a follow-on contract to continue critical engineering support for the U.S. Navy Space and Naval Warfare (SPAWAR) Systems Center, Charleston (SSCC) Aviation Command and Control (AC2) Engineering Division.

The IDIQ cost-plus-fixed fee performance-based contract has a value of $22,474,000. It could reach a cumulative value of $169,639,971 if four option years and two performance based options are exercised. It is the third consecutive award for ARINC since it began supporting SPAWAR’s AC2 Engineering Division in 1997. The Division is the contracting activity for a broad range of complex electronic systems to all branches of the Department of Defense, FAA, and other U.S. government offices.

“This award ensures ARINC’s important work for SPAWAR will continue with no impact to the warfighter when our current contract ends in October,” stated Rick Jenderny, ARINC Senior Director, Command Control Systems & Services. “Not only is ARINC Engineering Services best qualified by experience and capabilities for this work, but a supplier change could have adversely affected design, development, delivery, and sustainment of vital SPAWAR projects including the deployment of transportable air traffic control (ATC) systems and services to CENTAF in Southwest Asia.(SWA).”

ARINC’s work will include surveys, site/system evaluation, management, software support, training, technical design, system integration, installation, testing, fabrication, research, prototyping, maintenance, research, and logistics required for Aviation Command and Control systems. Support and services will include both U.S. domestic and international locations, and work will be performed at ARINC’s Command Control Systems and Services (C2S2) facility in Charleston, SC.

ARINC’s major support to SPAWAR’s current SWA efforts includes engineering, construction, deployment, and in-country technical support for a wide range of air traffic command and control transportable subsystems including Transportable Radar Approach Control (TRAPCON), Transportable Transmitter Receiver Shelter (TTRS), Transportable Air Traffic Control Communication Shelter (TATCCS), Containerized Airport Surveillance Radar (CASR), and most recently the large Battle Control Center-CENTAF (BC3). “These unique ARINC-supported rapid deployable SPAWAR systems are based upon commercial off-the-shelf components and hardware,” stated Jenderny. “The ATC system we’re currently providing sustained support to in SWA is an FAA-certified digital automation system. SPAWAR AC2 Engineering Division is the center of excellence for all DoD ATC shore-based air traffic command & control systems. We’re proud to partner with them in providing the best turnkey system and service solutions to the warfighter.”
