(Alliance News) - QinetiQ Group PLC on Monday announced the winning of a GBP127 million contract from the UK Ministry of Defence through the Engineering Delivery Partner framework.
The FTSE 250 defence technology provider said the contract is for five years and is for the provision of a range of services for the Typhoon combat aircraft, from planning and acceptance to regulatory assurance and trials support.
In addition, QinetiQ will provide expertise to the Typhoon radar development programme and data analytics for operational missions.
