Engility Holdings, Inc. EGL revealed that the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) Airworthiness and CYBERSAFE Office has granted a $38 million contract to it to provide a variety of technical services supporting aircraft safety-of-flight determinations apart from preparing the resulting flight clearances.

Engility Holdings said its team of skilled professionals would collaborate with the Airworthiness, as well as, CYBERSAFE Office to deliver services and products to NAVAIR and the warfighter.
