Kratos Receives $15 Million Award to Continue Critical Support for the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations
Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc., a leading National Security Solutions provider, announced today that it is being awarded a $15,165,201 modification to a previously awarded contract (N00024-10-C-5132) for professional support services to the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations (OPNAV). These services include support in the areas of systems engineering, program management and related business financial management for the Pentagon, Navy Annex, and Crystal City locations.
The primary responsibilities of the OPNAV N86 Surface Warfare Directorate are to manage the integration of capabilities and resources to support the Navy’s surface combat fleet. Kratos will provide critical concept of operations analyses, development of operational requirements, subject matter experts and critical budget and finance support. In addition, Kratos will coordinate program input and support between other government agencies, foreign services, academia, technical activities, laboratories, warfare centers, and industry. Work will be performed in the Washington, D.C. metro area and is expected to be completed by August 2012.
Tim Harmon, Vice President for Kratos’ Military Services Business Unit, said, “We are extremely pleased to receive this sizable award and to continue our long-standing support for the OPNAV N86 Surface Warfare Community. Our analysts provide valuable subject matter expertise and financial management to support decisions made by the most senior members of the Navy leadership in developing and executing program budgets.”
David Carter, President of Kratos’ Defense Engineering Solutions, said, “Kratos is one of very few companies with a near 20-year history supporting the OPNAV staff, and we look forward to continuing and building that relationship during a time of increased fiscal scrutiny.”
