American Systems nabs $6.6M Air Force T&E contract

American Systems has won a $6.6 million Air Force task order to support the Joint Strike Fighter air system operational test and evaluation test execution team.

Under the contract, American System will provide the operational test capabilities necessary to accomplish test concept, test execution, test reporting, integrated test, and readiness-to-test activities, the Defense Department said in a release.

Work will be performed at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., and is expected to be completed in September 2016.

American Systems made a play for test and evaluation work when the company acquired the T&E business of SAIC in 2012.
