SAN FRANCISCO, June 23 (UPI) -- The U.S. Air Force has contracted URS Corp. to provide operation and maintenance support at the National Radar Cross Section Test Facility.

URS' EG&G division was awarded the $76.5 million NRTF deal to support the 781st Test Squadron based in New Mexico. Officials say URS, an engineering, construction and technical services contractor, will provide radar cross-section and antenna testing for the 781st Test Squadron.

Additionally, URS will provide equipment and property maintenance along with engineering and security management, among other tasks.

"We are very pleased to have been selected by the NRTF for this project, which delivers accurate, timely, cost-effective and secure radar and antenna test data to the Department of Defense," Randall Wotring, URS EG&G division president, said in a statement.

"We look forward to continuing our long-standing relationship with the NRTF on this important work."
