The Pentagon announced on Monday that the Navy awarded a $4.4 billion contract to the Advanced Physics Laboratory (APL) at Johns Hopkins University for defense and strategic systems work.
The contract will be conducted at APL facilities in Laurel, Maryland, and is part of work that could total as much as $10.6 billion through 2027, the Pentagon said in a contract statement.
The contract will be used for research, development, engineering, and test and evaluation for Pentagon programs. Details of the work under the contract were not identified.
The statement said the work will include test and evaluation of strategic systems; submarine security and survivability; space science and engineering; combat systems and guided missiles; air and missile defense and power projection; information technology, simulation, modeling, and operations analysis.
