The Department of the Navy Information Warfare Systems Command awarded an indefinite delivery contract to Data Link Solutions LLC to develop and field the Multifunctional Information Distribution System (MIDS). MIDS is a secure, jam-resistant data link network that shares tactical information between air, sea, and ground-based platforms. The multiple award contract has a potential value of $1.067 billion to be delivered through task orders with a period of performance from 2010 to 2030.
Data Link Solutions LLC, a subsidiary of Raytheon Technologies Corporation, has been issued numerous fixed price and cost reimbursement task orders for work on MIDS and MIDS Joint Tactical Radio System terminals from its place of performance in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Task orders cover systems engineering, integration, software updates, terminal procurement lots, and foreign military sales to partners such as Japan, Korea and Saudi Arabia. No set-aside provisions were applied. The contract aims to develop and procure secure networking terminals that allow interoperable information sharing between tactical platforms to support the Department of the Navy's command, control, communications, computers and intelligence needs.
