Engility wins $27.5M contract to support Navy air traffic control division
Engility Holdings has announced it has been awarded a $27.5 millioncontract to provide a broad range of technical services support to the Air Traffic Control (ATC) Systems Division of the Naval Air Warfare Center, Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) at Patuxent River, MD and St. Inigoes, MD.
Under this cost-plus-fixed-fee contract (one year base and four option years), Engility will assist the Navy in developing technologies for performing automated aerial refueling with commercial and military tankers and manned and unmanned air systems (UAS).

This award reinforces our company’s outstanding technical capabilities and strengthens our position as a prime provider of technical services,” said Engility President and CEO Tony Smeraglinolo. “The capability to refuel an unmanned aircraft will allow the Navy to extend the range and time aloft of its UAS platforms and we are proud to support this critical program and help develop these mission essential technologies.”
The technical services that Engility will provide for this program include program management, electrical and electronic engineering, software engineering, mechanical engineering and design, system architecture, guidance quality analysis, test planning, flight test data analysis, and rapid-prototyping of electro-mechanical systems for test execution.
The contract is a re-compete task order and a majority of the work by Engility will be performed through the company’s office in Hollywood, MD.
