KBR (KBR) said Tuesday it has won a roughly $88 million task order contract from the US Air Force's 774 Enterprise Sourcing Squadron under the Department of Defense Information Analysis Center's multiple-award contract vehicle.

The contract is meant to "promote rapid prototyping" of new technologies into unmanned aviation platforms and systems, the company said, adding that it will integrate the new technologies into existing platforms.

KBR said the contract work will span five years and will be mainly carried out at Naval Air Station Patuxent River.
