Bush Combat Development Complex wins new Army research contract

Dear CCC Member,

The U.S. Army must like what it sees in Aggieland.

As The Texas A&M University System continues to build out the George H.W. Bush Combat Development Complex (BCDC) at the RELLIS Campus, the Army has awarded the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station (TEES) a new contract through 2026 for R&D projects worth up to $96.2 million.

The new contract coincides with the completion of the Research Integration Center (RIC), which will serve as the intelligence center for BCDC research and testing of high-tech devices, systems and other components related to hypersonic velocity and autonomous combat.

The RIC was completed just two years after an initial agreement was signed between Army Futures Command, the Texas A&M System, TEES and the State of Texas to modernize the military.

The new contract adds two years to the partnership, and it could increase Army spending at the BCDC by more than $50 million over the amount already spent under the original agreement.

Thanks, as always, for your ongoing support,

Have a prospect in mind?
