KBR has secured a five-year, $52 million follow-on task order from the Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division to support the counter improvised threat systems test and evaluation for the division’s Quick Reaction Capability Office.

The contract entails conducting research, development, testing and evaluation activities to reduce improvised threats, the company said Thursday.

Work will include requirements analysis, rapid test planning, execution, reporting, prototyping as well as data acquisition and analysis. Additionally, the company will provide engineering, technical, and administrative analysis and develop T&E methodologies.

“KBR’s depth and breadth of knowledge within the counter IT community enables us to remain a key player in supporting the United States military,” commented Byron Bright, president of the KBR’s Government Solutions U.S. arm and a 2024 Wash100 awardee. He added the company remains committed to providing military service members with mission critical capabilities.
