The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command and Naval Air Systems Command awarded an indefinite delivery contract to Crane Electronics, Inc. for upgrades to the WRA-9 system. Under the multiple award IDV, Crane Electronics has received several firm fixed price delivery orders to provide labor, kits, and equipment valued at over $9 million to transition legacy WRA-9 systems to newer configurations. Performance will take place primarily in Okaloosa Island, Florida over periods ranging from four months to three years concluding in 2027. The upgrades support continued testing and evaluation of technologies for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance applications. Specific requirements include transitioning airborne low frequency sonobuoy systems to improve acoustic detection capabilities, and migrating components to advanced laboratories to enable enhanced underwater surveillance. The funding agencies manage acquisition for Navy and Marine Corps aircraft, avionics, and weapons systems, so the contracted upgrades aid related R&D programs. The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command awarded Crane Electronics a delivery order valued at $2.657 million to provide WRA-9 Upgrade Kits. The kits will convert Airborne Low Frequency Sonobuoys to the Low Frequency Analysis and Recording configuration to improve low frequency acoustic detection over thirty-two months ending February 2028. Additionally, the Naval Air Systems Command issued delivery orders to Crane Electronics for labor and other support valued from $64,000 to $369,000 to upgrade legacy WRA-9 systems and components to specified configurations and laboratories by dates ranging from June 2023 to October 2024. No set-aside provisions were applied to these awards under the indefinite delivery contract.
