The Mission Technologies division of HII, an all-domain defense provider, was awarded a $197 million contract to support the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command’s Ground Vehicle Systems Center (GVSC).
HII was awarded the contract under the Department of Defense Information Analysis Center’s (DoDIAC) multiple-award contract (MAC) vehicle. These IAC MAC task orders are awarded by the U.S. Air Force’s 774th Enterprise Sourcing Squadron to develop and create new knowledge for the enhancement of the Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) repository and the research and development and science and technology (S&T) community.
Advance Ground Vehicle System
Under the five-year task order, HII will research and develop enhancements for GVSC’s ground combat systems and service lifecycle efforts. With an emphasis on vehicle power and mobility, the research will apply to the full suite of Army vehicles, from manned and unmanned ground combat vehicles to hybrid, joint light tactical and robotic vehicles.
“We look forward to continuing our longstanding relationship with GVSC, building on our 20-year history supporting the center’s important mission,” said Grant Hagen, head of Mission Technologies’ Warfare Systems group. “Accelerating advanced technology to benefit the warfighter is a priority, and we’re pleased to collaborate with the Army on ground vehicle advancements that will improve soldier safety and mission success on the battlefield.”
Work will be performed primarily in Warren, Michigan.
