KBR secures $60M NATO contract for PATRIOT system support. * KBR will support PATRIOT integration with the Army's IBCS architecture * The five-year award will cover work at U.S. and international locations * The contract builds on KBR's decades of PATRIOT engineering and technical support KBR's mission technology solutions business has secured a potential $60 million recompete contract from NATO to support the PATRIOT air and missile defense system, the company said Monday. What is the scope of the PATRIOT support contract? Under the five-year, time-and-materials award, KBR will support the integration of the PATRIOT system with the Integrated Battle Command System, or IBCS, to link sensors and effectors through an integrated command-and-control architecture. The mission technology solutions division, which will be renamed Trinzic following its planned spin-off, will perform the work at locations worldwide, including Redstone Arsenal government facilities and KBR offices in Huntsville, Alabama, as well as Letterkenny Army Depot in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. Managed by the NATO Support and Procurement Agency, the program aims to accelerate sustainment and integration timelines while supporting operational readiness. How does the award build on KBR's PATRIOT work? KBR has provided technical and engineering services for the PATRIOT system for decades, supporting the Department of War and international partners. In 2022, the company received a five-year, $207 million task order to conduct engineering analyses, modeling and simulation and testing aimed at enhancing the missile defense system. The task order covered areas including surveillance, guidance, fire control, engagement decision logic and interceptor performance. PATRIOT is fielded worldwide, safeguarding military forces, critical infrastructure and civilian populations. KBR said sustainment and readiness support remain necessary as the system continues to integrate with developing air and missile defense architectures. Jay Lennon, president of mission technology solutions, said the award demonstrates KBR's ability to deliver technical support at scale and at the pace required by current air and missile defense demands. Lennon and Vice President of Business Strategy Daniel Dant were recently selected to oversee the company's Golden Dome missile defense strategy and related efforts.

Morocco ammonia project targets shipping demand. by Ship & Bunker News Team Monday August 17, 2026 The proposed project is expected to produce around 560,000 tonnes/year of low-carbon ammonia. File Image / Pixabay A planned ammonia project in Morocco's Laayoune region is targeting shipping and other export markets with expected production of around 560,000 tonnes/year. The project, being developed by ORNX Green Hydrogen, will use about 900 MW of electrolyser capacity to produce hydrogen and ammonia from renewable power, KBR said in a press release last Wednesday. Engineering firm KBR has been appointed to provide ammonia technology licensing and pre-FEED services for the project, with funding support from the US Trade and Development Agency. The development will combine power generation, hydrogen production and ammonia synthesis, with access to port infrastructure supporting exports. The pre-FEED study will be carried out by KBR with GE Vernova, Electric Hydrogen and Terabase. The project is expected to supply low-carbon ammonia to the fertilizer, maritime and industrial sectors. With ammonia engines now becoming commercially available and shipowners beginning to order vessels, the industry is gradually moving to embrace the fuel. However, significant work remains to develop bunkering infrastructure, as ammonia is toxic and requires strict safety precautions.

Huntsville defense firm unveils homegrown "firefly" Laser that zaps enemy drones in seconds. A Huntsville, Alabama defense company gave an up-close demonstration this week of a powerful new anti-drone laser system designed to knock unmanned aerial threats out of the sky before they can endanger U.S. military personnel or American civilians. KBR and its Huntsville-based subsidiary Kord demonstrated FIREFLY, a mobile high-energy laser weapon designed to detect, track, and destroy unmanned aircraft before they can reach American troops, civilian gatherings, or critical infrastructure. Attendees were required to put on laser-protection goggles before the test began. On a live screen, observers watched as the system's sensors and AI-assisted targeting technology identified and followed a drone. Then FIREFLY took it down. Axios reported that the truck-mounted 20-kilowatt system disabled the quadcopter in under four seconds. Kord officials said the onboard batteries provide roughly 15 minutes of total "laser-on time," the unit can be deployed in about 30 minutes, and an operator can learn the controls in as little as five minutes. "This is a homegrown product," KBR's David Zoller said, according to WAFF. "I think often we can look at the work that happens in Huntsville, you see Redstone, you see all the traffic and everything, and you kinda have to wonder what's going on over there," Zoller continued. "Well, it's protecting the people, and this is one of the methods that we're doing it."

Instead of launching expensive interceptors one-by-one at cheap enemy drones, MORFIUS flies into the swarm and blasts them with directed microwave energy, frying their electronics and knocking them out of the sky. Lockheed says the system can neutralize more than 50 enemy drones in a single flight. MORFIUS is a ground-launched X-rotor unmanned aircraft carrying a high-power microwave payload. It is designed for field recovery and reuse. After frying a swarm, it returns, gets recovered, and can launch again. That means a dramatically lower cost-per-kill compared to firing a missile at every single $20,000-$50,000 kamikaze drone.
