Systems engineering, acquisition planning and other services will continue to be provided the U.S. National Security Agency by a unit of L-3 Communications.

The two awards issued to L-3's National Security Solutions business under the agency's Enterprise Program Management contract are for five years, have a combined value of $367.3 million and a maximum ceiling value of $1 billion.

"In this rapidly evolving geopolitical environment, we are very pleased for the opportunity to continue our valued partnership with the National Security Agency as the incumbent on both programs," said Les Rose, president of L-3 NSS. "Our commitment to providing targeted and affordable solutions enhances our customers' effectiveness against today's threats and yields opportunities in meeting tomorrow's national security challenges."

L-3 Communications said its support services will be for two mission areas of the National Security Agency. It did not, however, offer information on those mission areas.
