MTSI Awarded Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) SBIR Phase III BOA

MTSI received an award for a Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) Phase III Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) with Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR). Sponsored by PMA-281 Strike Planning and Execution Systems, this 5-year contract provides a sole-source, multi-tenant strategic sourcing vehicle with no defined ceiling and supports government access to a broad range of MTSI’s capability offerings.

“This SBIR Phase III BOA is a major strategic win for MTSI and our Naval Aviation and Special Projects (NASP) Business Unit,” said Vance Drenkhahn, MTSI Executive Vice President, Defense Services Division. “This award results from a team’s intensive capture and proposal work. It spanned all three MTSI divisions. This win is the necessary contractual foundation for our growing US Navy portfolio. We look forward to supporting current and future mission partners in NAVAIR. We will solve tough technical problems with our full suite of differentiated solutions.  Congratulations to the NASP team on this critical win.”

Initial tasking supports PMA-281 under NAVAIR. PMA-281 provides multi-domain mission planning and software support to all platforms in the US Navy and the modernization of their digital ecosystem to support critical warfighting capabilities. This includes mission planning for tactical platforms (manned and unmanned) such as aircraft, ships, and sub-surface vessels and strategic platforms such as Tomahawk Land Attack Missile (TLAM), Naval Strike Missile (NSM), and future Navy hypersonic weapons like Conventional Prompt Strike (CPS). Currently, MTSI supports PMA-281’s CPS mission planning requirement as a subcontractor to SAIC through its NSWC Crane contract. With this BOA award, MTSI can now support PMA-281 as a prime contractor.

Along with the CPS Mission Planning support, MTSI will provide Digital Transformation and MLS Cloud Computing services to PMA-281. These help build a Secure Integrated Digital Environment to deliver critical mission planning capability to the US Navy fleet. This support delivers the needed Multi-Level Secure (MLS) digital ecosystem for continuous operational support and connectivity in Denied, Disrupted, Intermittent, and Limited (DDIL) environments for both ashore and afloat units. This effort is a complete digital overhaul for the US Navy. MTSI will lead this modernization charge.
