QinetiQ signs £52.5M support package contract with MOD

QinetiQ has today signed a contract with the Defence Procurement Agency worth up
to £52.5M over the next three years securing continuation of work for the
Typhoon IPT (Integrated Project Team).

QinetiQ and its legacy organisations have been involved in the Typhoon project
for nearly 20 years, but it is over the last five years that QinetiQ's
activities have become focused under one integrated support contract. This new
contract continues much of the activity carried out hitherto, with the
introduction of some new tasks required by the customer.

The pan-QinetiQ team provides several valuable services to the Typhoon IPT
including the provision of independent Release to Service (RTS) safety
recommendations, the technical review of Verification, Qualification and
Certification (VQ&C) evidence, programme risk reduction and recovery support
activities, future capability/decision support and the operation of strategic
facilities for the MOD. Other support includes qualification testing of aircrew
equipment, modelling and simulation, flight trials and software analysis.
