Amentum has been awarded a $245 million, five-year task order by the U.S. Air Force for the Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) supporting Microelectronics Facilities and Laboratories Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation (RDT&E) for the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane Strategic Microelectronics Division (GXM) and the Navy’s Strategic Systems Programs (SSP). The contract will strengthen our nation’s deterrence and defense by delivering state-of-the-art services and independent data driven solutions and establishing GXM as the national leader in high-reliability, radiation hardened microelectronics.

“Amentum will leverage our digital engineering ecosystem and model-based system engineering expertise to enhance capabilities for strategic radiation hardened microelectronics," said Jill Bruning, President of Amentum’s Engineering, Science, and Technology Group.

Under this Task Order, Amentum will use its Integrated Digital Engineering Approach (IDEA) to perform R&D, technology maturation and insertion, analysis, testing, and systems engineering to assess and enhance microelectronics facilities and laboratories. This will include updating and enhancing related microelectronics T&E facilities and laboratories; related capabilities associated with the Navy’s Fleet Ballistic Missile system and Strategic Weapons System; and DoD strategic weapons platforms employing advanced and critical microelectronics technologies. Amentum will also support the Navy by increasing prototyping and test surge capacity and providing radiation hardened and survivability subject matter expertise.
