BAE Systems secures $251M contract to back US Navy’s AEGIS combat system

The US Navy has awarded BAE Systems a five-year, $251 million contract to provide the AEGIS Technical Representative (AEGIS TECHREP) organization with large-scale system engineering and on-site technical expertise for the complex combat system configurations.

Under this contract, awarded in November 2024, BAE Systems will provide services in systems engineering, testing and evaluation, logistics, system acquisitions, and cybersecurity.  

Most notably, the company has contributed to the acceleration of the Program Executive Office Integrated Warfare Systems digital transformation strategy by developing and deploying digital analytic tools across all these task areas.

These tools provide near real-time mission impact assessments caused by software deficiencies, resulting in a greater focus on where best to invest in advancing critical combat capability for the US Navy.

The work will support Navy sites in Mt. Laurel, New Jersey; Bath, Maine; and Pascagoula, Mississippi.

“For more than 40 years, BAE Systems personnel have collaborated closely with Sailors and civilians to enhance and modernize the fleet of AEGIS-equipped surface ships,” said Lisa Hand, vice president and general manager of BAE Systems’ Integrated Defense Solutions business.

“Our team possesses extensive expertise in AEGIS and Ship Self-Defense Combat Systems, combined with the agility, innovation, and technical skills necessary to provide the U.S. Navy with the safe and effective combat capabilities required to achieve its mission goals.”

Earlier on, in 2020, BAE Systems received a $188.2 million contract to provide services for the US Navy’s AEGIS TECHREP organization.
