Engility has secured a position on the US Department of Defense’s (DoD) Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical and Biological Defense (JPEO-CBD) $8bn contract for developing chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRNE) defence systems.

The indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract covers the research and development of services related to CBRNE defence systems and equipment to the DoD.

The JPEO-CBD is responsible for managing and directing CBRNE defence systems from development through deployment and sustainment.

“We’ll couple our systems engineering with a manufacturing capability to produce unique solutions to help solve the government’s most difficult CBRNE challenges.”

Engility Defense and Security Group senior vice-president Scott Whatmough said: “For decades, the DoD has relied on Engility for high-end CBRNE expertise, and this contract is a great opportunity to expand our relationship and deliver the latest capabilities.

“Through these contract task orders, we’ll couple our systems engineering expertise with a manufacturing capability to produce unique solutions to help solve the government’s most difficult CBRNE challenges.”
