BAE Systems will provide installation, engineering, and sustainment support services, in order to ensure the continued safe operation of a U.S. military aircraft.

BAE Systems was awarded a four-year US$ 42.5 million task order, by the U.S. Navy, to provide shore-based landing systems integration (LSI) support services, for instrument carrier and instrument landing systems (ICLS/ILS).

Landing systems integration (LSI) services

The new ILS service provides U.S. Navy pilots with increased guidance capabilities

The new ILS service provides U.S. Navy pilots with increased guidance capabilities, by utilising radio beam signals, which aircraft computers translate, enabling pilots to correct their flight path and operate aircraft without instruction from an air traffic controller (ATC).

For several decades, we have been responsible for integrating the U.S. Navy’s landing systems, which are critical to the safety of warfighters in the air and on the ground,” said Lisa Hand, the Vice President and General Manager of Integrated Defense Solutions business, at BAE Systems.

Lisa Hand adds, “As a lead systems integrator, we have efficient, established and proven methods, and experience, in installing and sustaining these complex landing systems, which are critical for the safe landing of aircraft.

BAE Systems – NAWCAD WOLF partnership

In partnership with Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division Webster Outlying Field (NAWCAD WOLF), BAE Systems serves as part of the lead systems integrator team on the Landing systems integration (LSI) contract. The company provides a variety of support services, including systems integration, installation, and overall system sustainment.

The company’s technicians and experts have been deployed around the world, to support warfighters and will also provide support at key military installations, including the Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, in Washington for ICLS support and the Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, in California for ILS support.
