The total combined value of the two contracts is approximately $31m.

Sierra CEO Jeff Wynne said: “The ALRE win is significant in several ways. First, this is a new contract, not a follow-on to existing work.

“Second, this ALRE assignment is in a new area beyond Sierra’s previous contracts, which will fuel future growth beyond our legacy business.”

The NAWCAD Lakehurst ALRE Department provides full life-cycle acquisition management for the US Navy and Marine Corps systems and equipment used for the launch and recovery of fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft.

The equipment includes visual landing aids (VLA), arresting gear Mk7 and AAG, shipboard aviation information systems and other related systems on aircraft carrier vessels.

ALRE also involves expeditionary airfield (EAF) systems and subsystems, which include lighting, arresting gear, surfacing and geotechnical systems.
