NAWS CHINA LAKE, Calif. The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division (NAWCWD) has agreed to allow six companies to compete for task orders to research, develop, sustain, and update the Navy?s Combat Environment Instrumentation Systems (CEIS) under a potential five-year, $197.9 million contract.

The awardees are Leidos, Dynetics, Engility, Kranze Technology Solutions, New Directions Technologies, and NuWaves.

The cost-plus-fixed-fee contract covers updates for CEIS equipment including electronic attack/active emitter pods, electro-optical tracking platforms, countermeasure systems, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) instrumentation tools, GPS-based time-space-position-data instrumentation, and multispectral target systems that the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and its allies use at test and training ranges.

The DoD expects the work to take place in China Lake and Point Mugu, California, through 2022.
