By GlobalDataThe concept of this PB contract system is incorporated in the system design right from the early stages of acquisition.
In a statement, NSPA said: “The goal is to create incentives throughout the system lifecycle for all stakeholders, and notably industry, to optimise system supportability and lifecycle cost in all design and support decision.”
Nato Communications and Information Agency (NCIA) serves as the lead for the procurement phase of the radars.
In December 2019, NSPA awarded multiple contracts to support the development of the future surveillance of Nato and control its capabilities.
The contract was awarded to General Atomics, Lockheed Martin, MDA, Airbus and consortiums led by Boeing and L3Harris Technologies.
In December 2018, the Lithuanian Air Force received and deployed long-range 3D radars produced by Indra. The radars were designed for modern air surveillance capability.
