Under the cost-plus-fixed-fee, firm-fixed-price contract, Dynetics will produce Indirect Fire Protection Capability Increment Two systems, a type of mobile, ground-based weapon system that aims to counter unmanned aerial vehicle and cruise missile threats.
The systems will include launcher systems, retrofit prototype launchers, soldier trainers, weight representative training devices, contractor logistics services, initial spares and engineering services, the Defense Department said Tuesday.
