The U.S. Air Force has awarded General Dynamics a five-year contract to support communications systems for both NORAD and PACAF.

Under the contract, valued at approximately $80 million if all options are exercised, General Dynamics Information Technology will provide single system management, maintenance and support for existing communications systems for both North American Aerospace Defense Command, or NORAD, and Pacific Air Forces Air Defense, or PACAF.

"General Dynamics will continue to assist the Air Force by maintaining its existing systems and integrating current and new technology solutions for the air defense network," General Dynamics Information Technology's Advanced Technology Solutions vice president Edward Hudson said in a statement.

Work on the contract will be performed in Virginia, New York, Florida, Alaska, Hawaii, and other supporting locations.

"Our highly experienced team understands the unique challenges facing the Air Force and this program's significance in supporting critical national security objectives," Hudson added.
