KBR has won a five-year NATO contract with an initial ceiling of $60 million to support the Patriot air and missile defense system and its integration with the Integrated Battle Command System, or IBCS. The work will focus on command and control, sustainment and faster integration for systems supporting NATO and U.S. combatant commands.

The recompete time-and-materials contract was awarded through the NATO Support and Procurement Agency. KBR said Patriot integration with IBCS is a modernization priority for NATO and U.S. combatant commands.

KBR will provide command-and-control capabilities designed to connect sensors and shooters across the battlespace. The program is intended to shorten integration timelines and improve the readiness of deployed air and missile defense systems.

“Integrated air and missile defense demands technical precision and speed of execution,” said Jay Lennon, President of Mission Technology Solutions. “This award reflects KBR’s ability to reliably deliver both at scale, and it demonstrates the value customers place on KBR to execute at the pace of today’s threat environment.”

The work will be performed at locations worldwide. These include government facilities at Redstone Arsenal, KBR offices in Huntsville, Alabama, and Letterkenny Army Depot in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania.

KBR said its teams have supported the Patriot system with technical and engineering services for four decades. That work has covered the U.S. Department of War and international partners.

The new contract will extend that support as Patriot is integrated into evolving air and missile defense architectures. KBR said the program will emphasize faster sustainment and improved operational readiness across deployed systems.

Patriot is used worldwide to protect military forces, infrastructure and civilian populations, according to KBR. The company said sustained readiness is central to the system’s role within broader air and missile defense networks.

The contract will be performed by KBR’s Mission Technology Solutions business. That unit is expected to become Trinzic following KBR’s planned spin-off.

The award expands KBR’s work on Patriot while placing additional focus on IBCS and networked command and control. The program is designed to improve how sensors and shooters are connected across the battlespace.
