BAE Systems has been awarded a one-year $17.4 million contract by the U.S. Navy to provide engineering and technical support services for radio communications systems for multiple classes of ships. The total value of the contract could reach $54.5 million, if all options are exercised over three years. The contracting agency is the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center, Charleston, S.C.

For more than 25 years, BAE Systems has been a leading contractor in the development and integration of radio communications systems for the Navys surface fleet. Under the contract, BAE Systems personnel based in Charleston S.C., will design, procure, integrate, test, deliver, and install radio communications systems and C4I systems at a variety of shipyards across the country.
