HII has been selected to compete for task orders under the Defense Microelectronics Activity’s Advanced Technology Support Program V, a potential 10-year, $25.4 billion multiple-award contract aimed at addressing electronics and software challenges across the Department of War and other federal agencies.
HII said Monday that its mission technologies division is among those eligible to support engineering development, prototyping and modernization efforts designed to mitigate electronics obsolescence and accelerate the deployment of advanced microelectronics capabilities. The contract scope encompasses the full hardware and software life cycle, from initial design and simulation to production.
ATSP V has a five-year base ordering period with two option periods that, if exercised, would result in an ordering window of 10 years. Work locations and funding will be determined at the task order level.
How Will HII Support the ATSP V Program?
“Delivering a trusted, assured supply of microelectronics directly impacts warfighter survivability, mission success and technological superiority at a time when secure chips shape battlefield advantage,” said Grant Hagen, the president of the warfare systems group within HII Mission Technologies.
“HII looks forward to applying more than two decades of engineering expertise to design and deploy next‑generation microelectronics while sustaining systems with robust anti‑obsolescence solutions,” he added.
Which Companies Are Selected for ATSP V?
HII is one of 10 companies previously identified by the Department of War as eligible to receive task orders under the ATSP V contract. Other awardees include Battelle Memorial Institute, General Dynamics Mission Systems, L3Harris Technologies, Leidos, Northrop Grumman Systems and Raytheon.
How Does ATSP V Build on Prior DMEA Programs?
ATSP V follows the Advanced Technology Support Program IV, which was first awarded in 2016 and later expanded to a total potential value of approximately $17.47 billion. ATSP IV focused on modernizing DOW electronic systems.
