RTX has secured a potential five-year, $20.8 million contract to build and demonstrate two wideband passive sensor systems for the U.S. Navy’s Birdseye Yonder effort.
The Office of Naval Research solicited bids for the cost-plus-fixed-fee contract under a long range broad agency announcement and will obligate funds in the Navy’s fiscal 2023 research, development, test and evaluation budget, the Department of Defense said Tuesday.
Seventy-five percent of work will occur in Tewksbury, Massachusetts, and the rest will take place in El Segundo, California, through November 2026.
The contract has a three-year base period of performance with a two-year option running concurrently with the base period.
