V2X to sustain electronic warfare systems for U.S. Air Force

V2X Inc., has been awarded a $21 million firm-fixed-price contract to continue sustaining critical avionics and electronic warfare systems for the U.S. Air Force. The contract supports the repair and maintenance of AN/ALQ-172 and AN/ALQ-161 components, ensuring the continued operational effectiveness of the B-52 Stratofortress, the B-1B, and C-130 fleet.

As global forces continue to refine their electronic warfare capabilities, V2X's work ensures that U.S. aircraft remain protected in contested environments. The AN/ALQ-172 self-protection integrated RF subsystem provides multi-threat countermeasures, defending against pulse, continuous wave, pulse Doppler, and monopulse radar threats. Similarly, the AN/ALQ-161system, has been continuously upgraded to detect and counter evolving electronic threats, extending its life and improving its capability from its initial fielding in the 1980s.

V2X's expertise in sustaining and enhancing these complex avionics plays a crucial role in extending the lifespan and effectiveness of legacy aircraft and their mission systems.

“Our mission is twofold: enhancing the capabilities of legacy systems with cost effective and technology driven solutions, and more importantly, ensuring the safety of B-52, B-1, and C-130 aircrews in an ever-evolving threat environment,” says Jeremy C. Wensinger, President and Chief Executive Officer of V2X. “This contract reinforces our commitment to delivering and sustaining cutting-edge battlefield solutions that protect warfighters and maintain combat readiness.”

Work under this contract will be performed at Robins Air Force Base, Georgia and Indianapolis, Indiana, with an expected completion date in 2029. The contract underscores V2X's trusted expertise in electronic warfare sustainment.
