Advanced Systems and Software Engineering Technologies (ASSET) LLC, Ridgecrest, California, a Joint Venture (JV) between New Directions Technologies, Inc. (NDTI) and DCS Corporation, has been awarded the Weapons and Systems Integration Support Services V (WSISS V) contract valued at $292M. Through this 5-year contract, ASSET LLC will provide systems engineering, analysis, research, development, logistics, configuration and data management services in support of the Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division’s (NAWCWD) aircraft integrated product teams for the development, integration, test, evaluation, and fielding of new and upgraded capabilities to Navy aircraft.

“We are humbled by the trust the Navy and NAWCWD have placed in us,” said Cedric Knight, Chairman of the ASSET LLC Board of Directors and President & CEO of NDTI. “Together with our mentor firm, DCS Corporation, we will extend our successful 15-year partnership to provide the exceptional support the Navy has come to expect of us. NAWCWD’s mission and the warfighter are our focus and bringing our pilots back home safely after a successful mission is our #1 priority. To that purpose we exist.”
“DCS is proud of our legacy of service to the Navy under the predecessor WSISS contracts in partnership with NDTI,” said Jim Benbow, DCS CEO. “We have every confidence that the ASSET JV will build upon our years of successful performance to deliver the highest level of support to naval aviation for years to come.”
