- KBR will support PATRIOT integration with the Army’s IBCS architecture
- The five-year award will cover work at U.S. and international locations
- The contract builds on KBR’s decades of PATRIOT engineering and technical support
KBR‘s mission technology solutions business has secured a potential $60 million recompete contract from NATO to support the PATRIOT air and missile defense system, the company said Monday.
What Is the Scope of the PATRIOT Support Contract?
Under the five-year, time-and-materials award, KBR will support the integration of the PATRIOT system with the Integrated Battle Command System, or IBCS, to link sensors and effectors through an integrated command-and-control architecture.
The mission technology solutions division, which will be renamed Trinzic following its planned spin-off, will perform the work at locations worldwide, including Redstone Arsenal government facilities and KBR offices in Huntsville, Alabama, as well as Letterkenny Army Depot in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. Managed by the NATO Support and Procurement Agency, the program aims to accelerate sustainment and integration timelines while supporting operational readiness.
How Does the Award Build on KBR’s PATRIOT Work?
KBR has provided technical and engineering services for the PATRIOT system for decades, supporting the Department of War and international partners. In 2022, the company received a five-year, $207 million task order to conduct engineering analyses, modeling and simulation and testing aimed at enhancing the missile defense system. The task order covered areas including surveillance, guidance, fire control, engagement decision logic and interceptor performance.
PATRIOT is fielded worldwide, safeguarding military forces, critical infrastructure and civilian populations. KBR said sustainment and readiness support remain necessary as the system continues to integrate with developing air and missile defense architectures.
Jay Lennon, president of mission technology solutions, said the award demonstrates KBR’s ability to deliver technical support at scale and at the pace required by current air and missile defense demands. Lennon and Vice President of Business Strategy Daniel Dant were recently selected to oversee the company’s Golden Dome missile defense strategy and related efforts.
