The Navy has awarded Dynetics Inc., Huntsville, an almost $41 million deal to manufacture, deliver and support 14 medium range air defense radar (MRADR) production representative model systems for the U.S. Marine Corps.
The MRADR is planned to add another layer to the increasing number of systems the Marine Corps is testing and fielding to add depth to its expeditionary air defense capabilities, such as the Medium-Range Intercept Capability cruise missile defense system and Light-Marine Air Defense Integrated System electronic counter-UAS.
The hybrid contract modification also requires depot-level technical manual support, program management support, engineering change proposals, associated program management, logistics support, software support, and retrofit four MRADR prototype systems and four Marine Expeditionary Long Range Persistent Sensor systems.
Work will be performed at Huntsville (87.5%); and Woodlake, California (12.5%), and is expected to be completed in August 2028.
Marine Corps Systems Command, Quantico, Virginia, is the contracting agency.
Dynetics is a wholly owned subsidiary of Leidos that provides defense, aerospace and information technology. Included in its portfolio is a long record of work with hypersonics, space exploration, force protection, and advanced weapons solutions.
