Falls Church-based defense and government services contractor Pacific Architects and Engineers (PAE) announced Thursday it has been awarded a $98 million contract from the U.S. Air Forces in Europe and Africa (USAFE-AFAFRICA) to provide electronic warfare operations training and infrastructure maintenance support.

Task orders under the contract are projected to be performed in the United Kingdom and Italy. PAE also announced Thursday it secured an additional $55.7 million task order to support USAFE-AFAFRICA’s electronic warfare range systems infrastructure in Germany and provide mobile training operations across Europe and Africa.

“PAE has built a unique set of skills and knowledge from decades supporting essential Air Force national security initiatives,” PAE President and CEO John Heller said in a statement. “We believe that expertise and our dedication to continuous improvement practices gives PAE a competitive advantage with training and technical operations support services work, including this opportunity to support electronic warfare training missions for USAFE-AFAFRICA at locations throughout Europe and Africa.” 

PAE employs more than 20,000 workers across its operations in 60 countries and reported more than $2.7 billion in revenue last year.
