BAE Wins Two Awards to Support the US Navy with Enhanced Radio Communications & C5ISR Capabilities

BAE Systems’ Intelligence & Security sector was awarded with two separate contracts by NAWCAD for C5ISR design and integration work aboard Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyers (DDG-51 class) and guided missile cruisers (CG-47 class).

The U.S. Navy’s Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) has awarded BAE Systems, Inc. a prime position on a $212 million contract to integrate and sustain its critical communication systems. The company will design, acquire, integrate, and test radio systems for newly constructed Guided Missile Destroyers (DDG) and other U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard ships.

Additionally, the company was awarded a separate $104.7 million contract by NAWCAD to provide engineering and technical services to support production, lifetime-support, and in-service engineering for the radio communications C5ISR (command, control, communications, computers, combat systems, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance) systems aboard U.S. Navy surface combatants and at associated shore sites. The work will be focused primarily on the CG 47 Class and DDG 51 Class AEGIS ships.
