Computer Sciences Raytheon (CSR) — a joint venture between Computer Sciences Corporation’s Applied Technology Division and Raytheon Technical Services Company — has been awarded a contract by the U. S. Air Force Space Command to provide technical services at the Air Force’s Eastern Range headquartered at Patrick Air Force Base, Fla.

The estimated value of the agreement, which has a 10-month base and nine one-year options, is approximately $816 million if all options are exercised.

CSR provides range technical services to all manned and unmanned launches from Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral Air Station. Under the agreement, CSR will continue providing operation and maintenance for instrumentation, communications, and information systems across the United States Air Force Space Command’s Eastern Range.

This includes radar, optical, and GPS-based tracking, telemetry, range safety data processing, command destruct, and meteorological systems and their associated computer, communications and timing systems. Additionally, mission planning, systems analysis and remote base operations and maintenance services will be provided.

“Providing a full range of base operations support on this program exemplifies our commitment to supporting the customer’s mission, and the nation’s space program,” said Blaine Salvador, vice president of Mission Support Solutions and Integrated Range and Installation Solutions product lines. 

“The advances we have made because of space exploration makes us particularly proud of this work and the 20-year relationship that we have with CSC in supporting NASA and the military services,” Salvador added.
