BAE SYSTEMS Selected For U.S. Navy's Multi-Sensor Integration Program

13 Jan 2005

BAE Systems has been selected by the U.S. Navy for the next phase of the Navys Multi-Sensor Integration (MSI) Phase II Project. The project is developing real-time software to integrate the on-board and off-board sensor information available to the Navys E-2C aircraft.

BAE Systems was selected for the program during a competitive phase conducted by the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR). The four-year contract is valued at $12 million, if all options are exercised.

We are delighted to have won this competition, said Dr. Mark Luettgen, manager of fusion technology and systems for BAE Systems Advanced Information Technologies. Our selection by NAVAIR is a reflection both of the hard work of our MSI project team and our continuing efforts to develop the All-Source Tracking and Identity Fusion software that formed the basis of our MSI approach. We deeply appreciate NAVAIRs confidence in us and are looking forward to working with them to bring this important capability to the fleet.

BAE Systems AIT (formerly ALPHATECH, Inc.) was acquired by BAE Systems North America in November 2004. BAE Systems AIT is a developer of technology intensive applications software for government and industry.
