MCLEAN, Virginia. HII’s Mission Technologies division won a five-year, $70 million task order to support the U.S. Air Force in securing its systems and software against cyber threats, the company announced in a statement.
The contract, awarded by the U.S. Air Force Life Cycle Management Center’s Engineering Directorate, tasks HII with identifying and mitigating vulnerabilities through research and analysis to prevent unauthorized access, use, or destruction of Air Force systems, the statement reads.
