DoD noted the obligated amount of $10 million at the time of modification award is from fiscal 2017 Navy research, development, test and evaluation and “other” procurement funds as well as Australia’s Armament Cooperative program funds.
The company will perform work in Fairfax, Virginia, through July 2018.
