FALLS CHURCH, Va. – General Dynamics Information Technology (GDIT), a business unit of General Dynamics (NYSE: GD), announced today that it was awarded a $143 million electronic warfare contract by the Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division (NAWCWD). The single-award task order, awarded in January by the Joint Electronic Attack Compatibility Office, includes a one-year base period and four one-year option periods.

Electronic Warfare (EW) enables warfighters to disrupt or manipulate adversaries’ communication and weapon systems.
