About this IDV

BAE Systems Information and Electronic Systems Integration Inc., a subsidiary of Raytheon Technologies Corporation, holds a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract valued at $22.1 million from the Air Education and Training Command (AETC) for the upgrade of Advanced Radar Capability-234 (ARC-234) radios to retrofit with cryptographic modernized Base Band Input/Output (BBIO) modules. The contract was awarded on September 27, 2021, with an ultimate completion date of September 26, 2026. The contract encompasses modernization efforts to enhance critical communications capabilities for military training and operational aircraft through the integration of updated cryptographic and signal processing capabilities into existing ARC-234 systems. All work is performed at the contractor's primary facility in Fort Wayne, Indiana, with no small business set-aside designation applied, indicating open competition for this defense electronics procurement.

Under this Indefinite Delivery Vehicle, AETC has issued 20 delivery orders totaling approximately $6.6 million through September 2025, with individual orders ranging from $20,100 to $1.36 million. Delivery orders have covered ARC-234 system upgrades, repairs, radio checkout and installation services, telephone infrastructure support, and engineering services supporting trade studies. Several orders represent Foreign Military Sales cases supporting allied nations including Canada and Australia. The delivery orders reflect ongoing sustainment, modernization, and technical support activities to maintain operational readiness of ARC-234 radio systems across AETC training installations, leveraging BAE Systems' extensive expertise in military aviation communications systems and integration, as demonstrated through its $965 million contract portfolio supporting the AN/ARC-231/A Multi-Mode Aviation Radio Suite and other significant defense electronics platforms.
