A General Dynamics business unit has landed a five-year, $49M contract from the Defense Logistics Agency to manufacture spare parts for tactical network backbone built to help U.S. Army personnel transmit voice, data and video communications on the battlefield.
General Dynamics Mission Systems will supply the spares for Increment 1 of the service branch's Warfighter Information Network-Tactical system, the Department of Defense said Friday.
Work under the sole-source, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract is scheduled to conclude by March 5, 2025.
