The Space and Naval Warfare (SPAWAR) Systems Center, Charleston, S.C., awarded the indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract, which has a first-year value of $16 million. The contract contains four one-year options and has a cumulative contract value of $81 million, if all options are exercised.
The SPAWAR Systems Center Charleston provides worldwide in-service engineering and technical support for current and future C4I systems. These systems are used in all classes of ships and at many shore installations and include sensors, video teleconferencing, image processing, air traffic control, navigation, computer security, briefing systems and communications networks.
