Jacobs Wins $455M Contract to Support NORAD Missions

Engineering company Jacobs has received the six-year, $455M Integrated Tactical Warning / Attack Assessment and Space Support Contract II from the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center’s Strategic Warning & Surveillance Systems Division.

The contract calls for operations, maintenance and sustainment of missions at the North American Aerospace Defense Command Cheyenne Mountain Complex. In addition, Jacobs will deliver services in support of the communications and processing functions of command and control capabilities and legacy space C2 systems deployed at Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station and Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado; Offutt AFB, Nebraska; and Vandenberg AFB, California, Air Force Technology reported.
