These systems provide Navy pilots with electronic guidance to help them land safely on the ground and at sea, in all weather conditions.  

Under the new contract, which is a continuation of work that BAE Systems has been performing for decades, the company will test, evaluate, and certify Navy aircraft landing systems and subsystems. The company will also provide the engineering and technical expertise to overhaul and restore the Navy’s systems and equipment.
