Qinetiq said on Tuesday that the contract, which comes on a one-year base period followed by four one-year options, will see it provide technical services for system development, fabrication, sensor and system integration, prototyping of multi-function sensor suites, and technology assessment efforts aimed at supporting current and future DEVCOM C5ISR PIF Belvoir customers.
