Teledyne Technologies Inc.’s [TDY] subsidiary Teledyne Brown Engineering Inc., recently said it was awarded a potential $595 million, five-year IDIQ contract by the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) for its Objective Simulation Framework (OSF).
Under the contract, Teledyne will design, develop, test, implement and maintain the OSF. It will be the centerpiece test and simulation framework for all elements of the missile defense system, the company said in a statement.
The OSF will be capable of supporting full-scale simulations, ground tests and live-fire events. For the first time, it will tie together the Digital Simulation Architecture with the Single Stimulation Framework.
“Winning this significant contract reflects well on our capabilities for designing and developing test systems for complex applications such as missile defense,” said Robert Mehrabian, chairman, president, and CEO of Teledyne Technologies. “We expect similar test technologies will have use in other markets we serve including energy, marine, aviation, space and environmental applications.”
Teledyne Brown said it developed the first digital and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HWIL) test and assessment capabilities for missile defense. Through the years, Teledyne Brown developed and supported advancements in test frameworks that established ground test standards for missile defense systems. The company also developed an OSF prototype that incorporates legacy digital and HWIL capabilities to support Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) test and assessment activities.
