The US Army Corps of Engineers has selected Booz Allen Hamilton as one of the six prime contractors for the $900m contract to support the US Department of Defense’s (DoD) Joint Test and Evaluation (JT&E) programme.

Under the indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract, the company will be responsible for delivering engineering and technical support to the department over a potential period of ten years.

Having commenced in 1972, the US DoD’s JT&E programme assesses interoperability across the military services that would help identify warfighting gaps, evaluate joint technical and operational concepts, and recommend suitable enhancements for the joint force.

"The new JT&E contract offers support to carry out joint feasibility studies, joint tests, quick reaction tests, and other test and evaluation activities for the defence department."
