The IDIQ contract is managed by the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Atlantic.

The scope of the contract is also likely to include development, testing, production, and deployment of next-generation autonomous and unmanned missions systems.

In January, BAE Systems won two contracts from the US Navy. The first one, a $79.8m contract, requires the company to provide assistance in maintaining and operating multiple electronic, communication, and computing platforms across the Pacific Ocean.

The second contract involves maintenance and modernisation of Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Shoup (DDG 86).
