The JAB is a force multiplier, offering warfighters advanced infrared vision technology, rapid assault launch and retrieval capabilities, and superior mobility.”
The contract reinforces Leonardo DRS’s position as a leading integrator in support of a wide range of missions for the U.S. military and its allies worldwide. The company’s integration expertise spans multiple domains, including force protection, computer networking, command, control, communications, computers, combat systems, intelligence (C5I), and naval power and propulsion systems.
