KBR has secured a $149 million cost-plus-fixed-fee contract from the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center’s EB Armament Directorate to accelerate digital transformation and weapons systems development at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida.
Awarded under the Acquisition, Data, Engineering, Digital, Decision Integration and Software (ADEDDIS) program, the seven-year Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract positions KBR as a key partner in modernizing how the Air Force designs, tests, and produces armament systems. The work will focus on integrating advanced modeling and simulation capabilities, digital engineering, and enterprise architecture solutions to compress development timelines and deliver mission-critical capabilities to warfighters with greater speed and precision.
KBR will provide a comprehensive suite of technical services including advanced analytics and decision support, digital transformation strategy, systems engineering, and software development. These capabilities are intended to create a seamless digital thread across the armament lifecycle—from initial concept through production—enabling faster iteration, reduced costs, and more agile responses to emerging threats.
“This award represents a pivotal step in advancing KBR’s digital transformation expertise across defense systems,” said Stuart Bradie, KBR President and CEO. “We remain committed to driving next-generation capabilities that will shape the future of armament development and ensure service members receive solutions rapidly and reliably.”
The contract reinforces KBR’s deep-rooted presence in the Eglin aerospace and defense community, where the company has delivered technical innovation for over a decade. Its existing portfolio in the region includes test data analysis and support for the Test Resource Management Center’s Test & Training Enabling Architecture (TENA). These ongoing efforts create integrated, interoperable testing environments that directly complement the digital engineering initiatives now underway under the new contract.
By bridging advanced software development with systems engineering rigor, KBR aims to help the Air Force move beyond traditional acquisition cycles toward a more iterative, data-driven model of capability delivery. The work will involve close collaboration with government stakeholders and industry partners to ensure that new armament systems are not only technically superior but also fielded at the speed of operational need.
The ADEDDIS program represents a broader Air Force push to embed digital practices across its acquisition enterprise. KBR’s role will be to translate that vision into tangible outcomes—transforming how armament programs are architected, validated, and sustained.
With this award, KBR continues to expand its footprint in defense digital modernization, building on a track record that spans air, space, and cyber domains. The contract also underscores the company’s ability to scale engineering innovation across complex weapons systems while maintaining a sustained, on-the-ground presence at key military installations.
