HUNTSVILLE, Ala., Nov. 27,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Leidos, a Fortune 500® science
and technology company, announced it was recently awarded a new
$32 million contract by the Marine
Corps System Command (MARCORSYSCOM) through the Consortium
Management Group (CMG). The defense radar systems development
contract calls for four Medium Range Air Defense Radar (MRADR)
prototype systems within a two-year span. The company's Dynetics
team will be leading the development of the required sensors.
"This win represents a significant transition for the Leidos
team," said Larry Barisciano, the
weapons technology operations manager for Leidos' Dynetics Group.
"Our successful R&D process has created a path for this
opportunity to become a true program of record. We're excited to
begin developing, producing and deploying these sensors for our
nation's Marines."
Leidos' Dynetics Group previously developed the Marine
Expeditionary Long Range Persistent Sensor (MELPS) assets through
the Office of Naval Research Multi-domain Radar in Contested
Environments (MuDRaCE) program, which was managed by Leidos'
Innovation Center (LInC). Those sensors provide a 360-degree field
of view that combines digitized antennas and receivers with
sophisticated signal processing techniques to provide a persistent,
high-quality air picture with no detectable electromagnetic
footprint.
Work on the new systems will be based off expertise from
previous sensor development programs as well as feedback from live
demonstrations.
Work will primarily be performed in Huntsville, Alabama, with some labor conducted
in Arlington, Virginia. The
current delivery date is scheduled for 2025.
