2019/09/23 Forecast International: LEIDOS CONTINUES SUBMARINE DETECTION SONAR SERVICES THROUGH TRAPS AWARD
RESTON, Va. -- Leidos has been awarded a follow-on contract by the United States Navy to provide submarine detection sonar services. The single award indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity, cost-plus-fixed fee, cost-plus-incentive-fee, firm-fixed-price award has a three-year ordering period and a total value of approximately $73 million. Work will be performed in Virginia and Mississippi.
Leidos engineers will help the U.S Navy's Maritime Surveillance Systems Program Office achieve long-range detection and classification of submarines in deep water environments through the fabrication, testing, and delivery of Transformational Reliable Acoustic Path System (TRAPS) prototype units. Leidos originally developed the TRAPS system under a Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency contract awarded in 2014. Since then, the company has continued to develop and field TRAPS Prototype Systems in support of U.S. Navy operations and has been the sole provider of these systems since the program's inception.
