About this award
The U.S. Navy's Naval Air Systems Command awarded Chemring Australia PTY LTD a $117.8 million firm fixed-price definitive contract on September 24, 2021, for the production of MJU-68 infrared countermeasure flares. The contract, which carries no set-aside designation, requires performance in San Diego, California, with an ultimate completion date of February 28, 2025. MJU-68 flares are critical defensive countermeasures deployed aboard naval aviation platforms to protect aircraft from infrared-guided threats. Chemring Australia, a subsidiary of the Chemring Group specializing in advanced countermeasure and sensor technologies, was selected based on its established capability and prior performance history supplying similar systems to the Navy.
This award reflects the Navy's continued reliance on Chemring as a specialized supplier of naval aviation countermeasures. The contractor's selection builds on previous contract awards, including a $109.9 million sole-source acquisition in May 2019 for MJU-68/B flare production and a $6.4 million contract in April 2019 for related flare products. The current contract encompasses a modification to update the Government-Furnished Property (GFP) list by removing alternate kits, streamlining the production and supply chain for this essential aircraft survivability equipment used across the Navy's helicopter and fixed-wing aviation inventory.
