This contract is an important competitive win for QinetiQ as the largest significant win for its strengthened US leadership team, focused on driving short-term operational performance and organic growth. This success helps underpin QinetiQ's current strategy, as it prepares for the integration of our recently announced acquisition of Avantus Federal LLC.
