BAE Systems Competes for 10-year IDIQ Contract
BAE Systems has been awarded a contract by the Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (NAVWAR) for the Consolidated Afloat Networks and Enterprise Services (CANES) programme. The total value of the 10-year indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract is US$4.1 billion. BAE Systems is one of eight companies that will be competing for work on the IDIQ programme.
CANES is the U.S. Navy’s next-generation tactical afloat network and represents a key aspect of the service’s modernisation planning by upgrading cybersecurity, command and control, communications, and intelligence systems afloat, and by replacing unaffordable and obsolete networks. Under the terms of the contract, BAE Systems will be responsible for the procurement and production of afloat network devices, spares, laboratory equipment, initial software, software renewal, and maintenance services for surface, shore, and submarine platforms.
BAE Systems has been supporting the CANES programme for the past eight years by sourcing, assembling, testing, and delivering CANES production units for large deck surface ships in Summerville, South Carolina.
“We look forward to continuing to support the Navy’s CANES mission to update shipboard networks to improve fleet operations,” said Lisa Hand, vice president and general manager of BAE Systems Integrated Defense Solutions .
