QinetiQ US has secured a place on the U.S. Army’s $4 billion Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) under the Product Director (PD) Aerostats program.

The 10-year Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract will support system integration, hardware procurement, engineering, logistics, and operations for aerostat-based surveillance platforms.

According to a release from QinetiQ US, the contract encompasses support for the Persistent Surveillance System – Tethered (PSS-T), future Elevated Sensing requirements, and the Persistent Surveillance Dissemination System of Systems (PSDS2) program.
 

These platforms provide round-the-clock situational awareness, crucial for U.S. border security and defense missions both domestically and abroad.
