Arlington-based defense contractor BAE Systems Inc. has won a U.S. Navy contract worth up to $478 million if all options are exercised, the company announced Oct. 27.
Under the five-year Systems Engineering and Integration Support Services contract, BAE Systems will continue supporting the U.S. Navy Strategic Systems Programs (SSP) office. The SSP oversees the Strategic Weapons System and Attack Weapons System on-board U.S. Ohio and U.K Vanguard class submarines, as well as on future U.S. Columbia and U.K Dreadnought class submarines.
“We are proud to continue providing full system-level lifecycle capabilities to SSP that will help advance their digital engineering strategy to ensure the readiness of the Navy’s strategic missions,” Lisa Hand, vice president and general manager of BAE Systems Integrated Defense Solutions, said in a statement.
BAE Systems has more than 89,600 employees in more than 40 countries.
Former CIA director Gina Haspel and retired U.S. Air Force Gen. Stephen W. Wilson have been appointed to Arlington-based defense contractor BAE Systems Inc.’s board of directors, the company announced Friday.
Their terms will run through April 2024.
“We are extremely fortunate to have Stephen and Gina join our board,” Michael Chertoff, chairman of the board of BAE Systems, said in a statement. “They both bring decades of national security experience to our team, and I know their leadership will ensure we are well prepared to continue supporting our customers.”
Appointed in 2018, Haspel was the 23rd director of the CIA and first woman to hold the position. She resigned in January. Beforehand, she had served as the CIA’s deputy director and in other roles since starting at the agency in 1985. She has received the Distinguished Career Intelligence Medal, Distinguished Intelligence Medal, Legion of Honor (France), Intelligence Medal of Merit and others. Haspel holds a bachelor of science in journalism from the University of Louisville, in Kentucky.
In August 2018, The New York Times reported that Haspel was chief of a base that waterboarded a prisoner in 2002, citing top-secret cables obtained by the National Security Archive, a research organization at George Washington University, in a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit.

Arlington-based defense contractor BAE Systems Inc. received a $117 million subcontract from Lockheed Martin Corp. to produce missile-seeker technology for long range anti-ship missiles (LRASM), it announced Monday .
The seeker technology enables LRASM to detect and engage maritime targets in contested environments with less dependence on traditional navigation systems. The contract will support missiles for the U.S. Navy, U.S. Air Force and allies through foreign military sales as well as research, development, test and evaluation services.
“We’re committed to providing affordable systems that deliver unmatched capabilities to the U.S. and its allies,” Bruce Konigsberg, BAE Systems’ radio frequency sensors product area director, said in a statement. “We’ve designed efficient seeker systems that are easier to build and test without compromising on performance.”
Work will be conducted in BAE Systems’ facilities in Wayne, New Jersey; Greenlawn, New York; and Nashua, New Hampshire.

Arlington-based defense contractor BAE Systems has received a $184 million order from the U.S. Marine Corps for more Amphibious Combat Vehicles (ACV) under a contract option.
In December, BAE Systems received approval to begin full-rate production of ACVs and received a $184 million contract modification to produce an initial 36 vehicles for the service branch’s ship-to-shore operations.
This option on the contract increases the total number of vehicles to 72 at a total value of $366 million.
“The exercising of this option validates years of teamwork in partnership with the Marines to provide the most adaptable amphibious vehicle possible to meet their expeditionary needs,” said John Swift, director of amphibious programs at BAE Systems, in a statement. “The ACV was designed to meet the Marines’ needs of today while allowing for growth to meet future mission role requirements.”
BAE Systems describes ACV as “a highly mobile, survivable, and adaptable platform for conducting rapid ship-to-shore operations and brings enhanced combat power to the battlefield.” The company is under contract to deliver two variants to the Marine Corps.
Along with Italy’s Iveco Defence Vehicles, BAE was selected for the ACV program in 2018 to replace the Marines’ legacy fleet of Assault Amphibious Vehicles (AAV), which were also built by BAE. The Arlington defense contractor was also recently awarded an indefinite delivery quantity (IDIQ) contract worth up to $77 million for the ACV program, which includes the provision of spare and replacement parts, testing equipment, and other services.
ACV production and support is taking place at BAE Systems locations in Stafford, Virginia; San Jose, California; Sterling Heights, Michigan; Aiken, South Carolina; and York, Pennsylvania.
Arlington-based Leonardo DRS’ Laurel Technologies business and Data Link Solutions, a joint venture between Falls Church-based BAE Systems Inc. and Charlotte, North Carolina-based Collins Aerospace, earned spots on a $150 million Navy blanket purchase agreement.

Work on the BPA will be performed at contractor facilities in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, and Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The services are expected to be completed by January 2023, according to the DOD.
Leonardo DRS announced in July 2020 it won a $120 million U.S. Navy contract to provide engineering design and test software for aircraft protection systems.

Arlington-based defense contractor BAE Systems announced Wednesday it has promoted Jeremy Tondreault as president of its platforms and services sector, effective Jan. 4, 2021.
Tondreault succeeds Guy Montminy, who will remain as a legacy fellow with the company until his planned retirement later in 2021.
“Guy has made significant contributions to our company, our employees and our customers over his 35-year career,” BAE Systems President and CEO Tom Arseneault said in a statement. “His dedication to our people and our mission, and his focus on safety, performance and operational excellence have guided the business through challenging times and positioned it for success into the future.”

Arlington-based defense contractor BAE Systems has received approval from the U.S. Marine Corps to begin full-rate production of amphibious combat vehicles (ACVS) and received a $184 million contract modification to procure an initial 36 full-rate production of the vehicles for the service branch’s ship-to-shore operations.
USMC will use fiscal 2021 procurement funds on the award and expects BAE’s land and armaments business to complete work in November 2022, the Department of Defense said Thursday. The full-rate production milestone and contract award came nearly two-and-a-half years after the military branch selected the team of BAE and Italy’s Iveco Defence Vehicles for a potential $1.2 billion contract to build as many as 204 vehicles.
BAE estimates that the number of lot 1 ACVs will increase to 72 in early 2021. The company has options to manufacture 80 more units annually over a five-year period. The ACVs are designed to transport Marines from naval ships to shore and achieved initial operational capability status in November 2020.
BAE will also develop command-and-control mission role and medium-caliber cannon variants of the vehicle under a $67M modification the service branch awarded in June 2019.
