KBR will utilise its vast test and evaluation (T&E) expertise to assess and address the unique requirements necessary to incorporate additional test range sites into the DoD's T&E infrastructure.
This will streamline and enhance the integration of test and training capabilities for DoD weapons systems.
KBR's work will result in developed hardware and software solutions that address the military's T&E needs. KBR will help DoD improve range interoperability and effective reuse of resources resulting in increased capability while reducing development, operation and maintenance costs for test ranges.
Byron Bright, KBR president of government solutions US, said, “KBR is proud of our nearly two decades of TENA support, promoting range interoperability and flexibility for the US military.”
The company's efforts will also further the important partnership between the Test and Training Enabling Architecture Software Development Activity (TENA-SDA) and Joint Mission Environment Test Capability (JMETC) to expand connectivity and develop enhanced capabilities for test and training facilities.
“KBR will continue to use its expertise to develop innovative solutions to fortify and grow the DoD's T&E capabilities,” Bright added.
KBR was awarded this task order under the cost-plus-fixed/firm-fixed fee One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services (OASIS) contract, which KBR won a seat on in 2014. This is a one-year task order with four option periods.
KBR ensures mission success for customers on land, at sea, in the air, and in space and cyber space. It has operational and developmental T&E processes designed for corporate, government and military organisations.
