KBR Transforming Cyber Capabilities for Department of Defense with $199M Contract Win
HOUSTON, August 20, 2024 – KBR (NYSE: KBR) announced it has been awarded an estimated $199 million cost-plus-fixed-fee contract supporting the Naval Information Warfare Center Pacific Program Executive Office Digital and Enterprise Services (PEO Digital) Technical Director’s Office. KBR was awarded this contract under the Department of Defense Information Analysis Center’s (DoDIAC) multiple-award contract (MAC) vehicle. These IAC MAC task orders are awarded by the U.S. Air Force's 774th Enterprise Sourcing Squadron to develop and create new knowledge for the enhancement of the DTIC repository and the R&D and S&T community. The work will be performed over a five-year period in Charleston, South Carolina and San Diego, California.
Under the terms of this new contract, KBR will transform the zero-trust capability of the Department of Defense. This state-of-the-art security measure ensures secure data flow and edge protection, a critical requirement for military operations. The team will perform research, analysis, assessments and testing to identify, develop, refine and integrate advanced technology experiments. KBR will address critical technology areas for the Department of Defense, including future generation wireless technology, trusted artificial intelligence and autonomy, integrated sensing and cyber, integrated network systems-of-systems, space technology and quantum science. These technologies enable autonomous computer information technologies that help protect the nation’s networks and enhance information dominance.
“We are excited to play a significant role in the digital transformation and to expand upon our zero trust capabilities,” said Stuart Bradie, KBR President and CEO. “This win allows KBR to provide valuable technology and mission expertise and showcase a capability that benefits the United States Department of Defense.”
KBR’s subject matter experts will provide recommendations for integrating prototype components and designs into new or existing information systems including command and control systems; communication systems; networking systems; cyber operations; intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance systems; business systems; and information security to increase availability, improve reliability, and reduce support costs.
