About this award
The U.S. Air Force Electronic Systems Center awarded a $67.9 million delivery order to Georgia TECH Applied Research Corp (GTARC) on May 24, 2021, for communications network upgrade efforts supporting the Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) Block 40/45 Upgrade program. This Major Defense Acquisition Program modernizes legacy E-3 AWACS aircraft by replacing outdated mission computers and operator consoles with open-system architecture and enhanced computing capabilities. The delivery order, which carries no small business set-aside designation, is structured as a cost-plus-fixed-fee contract with an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2025, and will be performed at GTARC's Atlanta, Georgia facility. GTARC, a non-profit research organization affiliated with the Georgia Institute of Technology, specializes in advanced technical services and research and development across radar technologies, electronic warfare, and sensor development—capabilities directly applicable to modernizing the AWACS airborne early warning and battle management system.
GTARC engaged Hebco, Inc., a Native American-owned small disadvantaged business based in Oklahoma City, as a subcontractor beginning February 25, 2022, to support technical efforts for the Department of Defense. Hebco's involvement reflects the program's need for specialized technical documentation and engineering services, consistent with the company's primary expertise in aircraft maintenance documentation and technical order creation across military platforms. The AWACS Block 40/45 Upgrade program, managed by the U.S. Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, typically involves multiple contractors including primary systems integrator The Boeing Company and various specialized suppliers for components and subsystem integration, with work distributed across Oklahoma City and multiple Air Force bases supporting both domestic modernization and foreign military sales to allied nations.
