WASHINGTON, March 24 (UPI) -- Raytheon said it won two new orders to operate and maintain the Missile Defense Agency's X-Band radars.
The two task orders were worth $28.3 million, it said.
"This partnership provides the Missile Defense Agency with significant potential cost savings," said Pete Franklin, vice president for Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems National & Theater Security Programs. "The Consolidated Contractor Logistics Services contract applies Raytheon's whole-life services and support strategy to the MDA Ballistic Missile Defense System, allowing the agency to respond more effectively to its missile defense mission with enhanced availability, lower costs and reduced risk.
"The first task order, which is valued at $1.2 million, provides management services for the operation and sustainment of the Raytheon-developed X-Band radar aboard the Sea-Based X-Band radar vessel and subsequent task orders. The second, valued at $27.1 million, covers day-to-day management, direction and control, and operations and sustainment of the XBR on the SBX."
The deal was structured to include a five-year base period worth $756 million and five one-year options bringing the total potential value of the award to $1.9 billion.
Work will be performed at Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems Missile Defense Center in Woburn, Mass., and Integrated Air Defense Center in Andover, Mass., and by Raytheon Technical Services Company personnel at sites designated by the MDA.
