BAE Systems has been awarded a $76 million 22-month contract for the design, fabrication and maintenance for electronic and communications systems for the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division, the company announced on Tuesday.

"We perform expert, integrated engineering and sustainment support services that meet the development demands of the Navy," acting president of BAE Systems Intelligence & Security sector Mark Keeler said in a press release.

BAE will also develop and install mission systems for NAWCAD's Special Communications Mission Solutions Division. The communications equipment to be deployed is secured and is used by NAWCAD, the U.S. Army, Air Force and many other commands and federal agencies.

NAWCAD is responsible for supporting research, testing, development and evaluation of all air vehicles and trainers for the Navy and Marine Corps.

NAWCAD manages test ranges, facilities, laboratories and aircraft necessary to support the Navy's acquisition programs. They are primarily located in Patuxent River, Md., Lakehurst, N.J. and Orlando, Fla., with many smaller facilities across the United States and elsewhere.
