HOUSTON – (June 23, 2021) – KBR (NYSE: KBR) won a follow-on $58.1 million task order to provide sustainment engineering services for U.S. Air Force systems managed by the Digital Directorate’s Air Traffic Control and Landings Systems (ATCALS) Sustainment Branch.
Under the task order, KBR will conduct research and analysis on reliability, obsolescence, non-destructive inspection and non-destructive testing techniques, system degradation, structures, corrosion, and system sustainability. These efforts will identify impacts, improvements, alternate solutions, and more efficient methods and techniques to sustain critical Air Force landing, navigational, radar and air traffic systems.
