ManTech’s defense sector executive vice-president and general manager David Hathaway said: “Our mission is to deliver state-of-the-art, next-generation technology solutions that enhance the capabilities of all NSWC-managed SOCOM platforms.

“We are proud to support SOCOM forces with world-leading technology solutions that help ensure real-time mission success in every conceivable environment, challenge and domain.”

This task order will see ManTech bring next-generation integrated weapon systems and ISR capabilities for crewed and uncrewed air, surface, subsurface, ground, and maritime mobility platforms.

The programme will benefit SOCOM systems and associated subsystems including weapons ammunition; optics; validation equipment; production equipment; sensor and fire control systems; mounts; rocket, missile and gun systems; integrated pilot and operator displays; crew-served weapon systems and associated mounts; and airframe integration systems.

Furthermore, the programme will provide ‘quick-reaction’ and engineering analyses for expeditionary weapon systems’ complete lifecycle management.
