Lockheed Martin has won a second-round contract worth $9.6 million to continue work on the U.S. Army's first integrated electronic warfare, signals intelligence and cyber platform, the service announced Sept. 27. The other transaction authority agreement for phase two on the Terrestrial Layer System-Brigade Combat Team, or TLS-BCT, follows a 16-month prototyping period that involved Lockheed and Boeing subsidiary Digital Receiver Technology. During that period, each company was charged with developing prototypes and working with soldiers. The service then planned to pick one solution to move forward. TLS-BCT will be mounted on a Stryker vehicle, and officials have said it will be critical to ensuring the force can defeat modern and sophisticated threats on the battlefield.
