Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory has been awarded a potential five-year, $81.1 million contract to help the U.S. Army maintain an engineering and research-and-development platform to be built by an academic or a nonprofit organization.
The Defense Department said Tuesday that APL will perform work under the cost-plus-fixed-fee contract through Aug. 22, 2021.
The Army Space and Missile Defense Command received one bid for the program and will determine performance location and funds with each order.
APL works with its government partners to research, develop, engineer, integrate and analyze complex national security and space technologies.
