It's not every day that a company gets entrusted with an $86 million contract, but for BAE Systems, it's another opportunity to stand by our nation's defense. The U.S. Navy has once again turned to us to support their vital Mobile Deployable Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Combat Systems, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (MDC5ISR) programs.
For the next five years, we'll be working closely with the U.S. Naval Air Systems Command’s Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division Webster Outlying Field Special Communications Mission Solutions Division. Our mission? To provide top-notch engineering and technical services, ensuring that both new and existing MDC5ISR systems and platforms are running at their best.
Lisa Hand, our Vice President and General Manager, couldn't be prouder of our team. With over 35 years of experience under our belts, we've become known for our quick reactions and integrated solutions. It's not just about technology for us; it's about supporting the brave men and women who serve around the globe.
But our work doesn't stop there. This contract isn't just about the Navy; it's about supporting a wide range of products that help our forces do their jobs better. Whether it's small craft, transportable systems, or en-route communication systems, we're there to ensure they're up to the task. And it's not just for the military; it's for Special Operations Forces, Homeland Security, and other agencies, too.
We're rolling up our sleeves in Lexington Park, Maryland; St. Inigoes, Maryland; and Little Creek, Virginia, ready to get to work. These locations aren't just dots on a map; they're where our partnerships come to life, where ideas turn into action.
Headquartered in London, England, BAE Systems isn't just a company; we're a global force for good. We're proud to be the largest defense contractor in Europe, but our roots run deep in the United States too. Our subsidiary, BAE Systems Inc., is one of the top suppliers to the U.S. Department of Defense, a testament to the trust our partners place in us.
Since we started in 1999, we've been on a mission to grow and adapt, making strategic moves to strengthen our capabilities. Acquiring companies like United Defense and Armor Holdings wasn't just about expanding our portfolio; it was about staying ahead of the curve, ensuring we can meet the challenges of tomorrow head-on.
In the end, this contract isn't just about dollars and cents; it's about the people behind them. It's about the men and women who put their lives on the line every day, knowing that we've got their backs. At BAE Systems, that's a responsibility we take seriously, and one we'll continue to honor for years to come.
