Vertex Aerospace Partners with BAE on LAIRCM Contract

July 8, 2020 By DefenseConference.com

Vertex Aerospace has been selected to lead the installation portion for a KC-130J aerial transport and refueling aircraft contract in partnership with BAE Systems Inc. The team was selected as the U.S. Navy’s Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) Aircraft Prototype System Division (APSD) KC-130J Large Aircraft Infrared Countermeasures (LAIRCM) contract awardee.

BAE is the prime contractor for the program and selected Vertex’s Aircraft Integration & Sustainment (AIS) division to lead the installation portion of the contract at its Crestview, Florida location. The AIS Crestview site is co-located with the Bob Sikes Airport, which boasts a fully instrumental 8,000-foot runway providing easy access for all sized aircraft. The facility houses multiple high bay hangars for both fixed and rotary wing aircraft modification and is complemented by over 500,000 sq. ft. of manufacturing, production, and assembly buildings servicing major OEMs.

“We have proudly supported our warfighters for over 65 years, and we’re honored to continue that service through this collaborative partnership,” said Ed Boyington, Vertex Aerospace President and CEO. “This win is a testament to the trust the aerospace industry places in Vertex for our reputation of providing high-quality, cost-effective services.”
