Booz Allen Hamilton Secures $506 Million Contract to Drive Innovation for U.S. Army Aviation

Enhances Modular Open Systems Approach for U.S. Army

Booz Allen Hamilton (NYSE:BAH) today announced it secured a $506M contract for the U.S. Army's Future Vertical Lift Cross Functional Team (FVL CFT) and Program Executive Office Aviation (PEO AVN) in support of the U.S. Department of Defense's mission to enhance military capabilities through innovative technology solutions. Under this five-year contract, Booz Allen will champion a Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) strategy, driving the development, integration, and fielding of critical technologies to empower the nation's warfighters.

As the company's largest Information Analysis Center Multiple Award Contract (IAC MAC) Task Order to date, this contract affirms Booz Allen's position as a key technical innovator to support critical mission capabilities. Booz Allen was awarded this contract under the Defense Technical Information Center IAC MAC vehicle, in collaboration with the U.S. Air Force's 774th Enterprise Squadron, to develop and create new knowledge for the enhancement of the Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) repository and the Research and Development (R&D) and Science and Technology (S&T) community.

"Booz Allen is committed to supporting the U.S. military with the expertise and technological advancements needed to foster an ecosystem of innovation and deliver solutions at the speed of need for emerging missions," said Tim Lawrence, executive vice president at Booz Allen and leader of the company's Army portfolio. "This opportunity allows us to collaborate with a nationwide team of companies and academic institutions, leveraging our collective knowledge and diverse expertise to deliver agile, efficient, and state-of-the-art systems for the nations dedicated warfighters."

The FVL CFT, PEO Aviation, and Booz Allen will partner under this MOSA-focused vehicle to develop and integrate critical combat systems supporting Army aviation vertical lift capabilities in future multi-domain operations. To support this mission, Booz Allen assembled a nationwide team of over 20 large and small businesses, as well as universities.

"The FVL CFT and PEO Aviation created a contract with the goal to close the gap between science and technology discovery and experimentation, and rapid deployment of critical technology to the battlefield," said Brian Orr, vice president at Booz Allen and leader of the company's Army Aviation portfolio. "We assembled the right team of national partners to help improve the survivability, lethality, sustainability, and integration of Army Aviation's enduring fleet and future systems."

The project aims to enhance Reliability, Maintainability, Quality, Supportability, and Interoperability (RMQSI) for weapons systems while evaluating new technologies for potential implementation across a range of programs and responsibilities. This includes support for annual technology demonstrations such as Project Convergence (PC), Experimental Demonstration Gateway Events (EDGE), and other named experimentation and demonstration events.

Booz Allen will play a key role in providing expertise in digital engineering, analytics, cyber, exercise planning and execution, and software development. Booz Allen leads the team and will determine the best solution providers to support specific U.S. government task order requirements. Booz Allen's expertise in model-based systems engineering (MBSE), Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) at scale, modeling and simulation, experimentation, platform integration, manufacturing, and AI/ML-assisted data analytics will play a vital role in driving success under this contract.
