The current contract is a renewal to the company’s previous award with the defence department, which continued for a period of two years, beginning in 2016.
As part of the project, MCL will repair and maintain ECM capabilities and associated systems that were designed, developed and delivered into the UK MoD over the last ten years.
MCL managing director Shane Knight said: “This contract renewal is testament to the capabilities within MCL to not only source equipment and technologies based on requirements, but design, develop and deploy these technologies in-house to the same high standard.
“Our work for the UK MoD is based on consistent capability excellence and highly skilled expertise. We’re delighted to have been selected as the preferred lead supplier and partner of choice.”
