Ball Aerospace Wins $91M USAF Avionics Cybersecurity R&D Contract

Ball Aerospace has won a five-year, $91 million contract to help the U.S. Air Force develop protected mission systems using an open systems approach and modern computing technology.

The company will perform cybersecurity, open-system architecture, high-speed networks, modeling and simulation, precision timing and heterogeneous processing work under the Trusted and Elastic Military Platforms and EW System Technologies program, the Department of Defense said Friday.
