MCLEAN, Va., (July 23, 2024) — HII’s Mission Technologies division was awarded a $65 million task order to perform high-quality, specialized research and analysis for the Joint Staff J7, Deputy Director, Joint Warfighting Development.

HII will support research and analysis in three areas. The first will focus on futures and concepts, to include developing a comprehensive view of the future operating environment. The second will focus on joint experimentation, to include informing and facilitating joint war gaming and integrated learning opportunities. The third will focus on wargaming for the Joint Staff J4 Logistics enterprise.

“HII’s live, virtual, constructive solutions prepare warfighters for cross-domain battle,” said Andy Green, executive vice president of HII and president of HII’s Mission Technologies division. “We are thrilled to expand on our existing relationship with the Joint Staff J7 and J4 to further support their mission of achieving overmatch in the changing conditions of war.”

Brian Teer, acting president of Mission Technologies’ LVC Solutions business group, said HII will leverage its ongoing work in the Joint Training Synthetic Environment.

“HII will support the government lead in the development, experimentation and socialization of futures, joint concepts that address emerging and future joint operational challenges,” Teer said. “We look forward to working with the Joint Staff, combatant commands and military branches to create the advantage for the Joint Force now and in the future.”

HII was awarded the task order under the Department of Defense’s Information Analysis Center (IAC) Multiple Award Contract (MAC) vehicle. IAC MAC task orders are awarded by the U.S. Air Force's 774th Enterprise Sourcing Squadron to support the development and creation of new knowledge for the enhancement of the Defense Technical Information Center repository and the research and development and science and technology community.
