WASHINGTON -- ICx Technologies, a developer of advanced sensor technologies for homeland security, force protection and commercial applications, announced today that it has been awarded a system-engineering, analysis and integration contract by the U.S. Army Research and Development Engineering Command Acquisition Center.

The award, with an estimated value of up to $711 million over seven years, was presented as a single contract for the Joint Nuclear, Biological, Chemical Reconnaissance System Increment II (JNBCRS 2) program.
