The Naval Sea Systems Command in Washington, D.C., has awarded a contract for system upgrades at the Pacific Missile Range Facility on Kauai.

The facility at Barking Sands, which controls and tracks missile launches and helps train bomber pilots, is due for engineering and technical support related to data distribution system and range mission tool software upgrades to its tactical display framework.

Raytheon Solipsys Corp. of Laurel, Md., outside the nation’s capital, has won the $28.1 million contract. The work will be performed at Barking Sands and the performance period runs from this month through September 2010.
