BLACK RIVER SYSTEMS WINS $12M U.S. AIR FORCE CONTRACT MODIFICATION
UTICA, N.Y. — Black River Systems Company Inc. was recently awarded a nearly $12 million cost-plus-fixed-fee completion engineering change proposal modification to a previously awarded U.S. Air Force contract for Cognitive Algorithms for Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) Contested and Degraded Environments software and hardware.
The contract adjustment is to expand signal-processing libraries to include updated signal of interest for 5G and to integrate developed forward processing capabilities into enterprise-compatible open-architecture systems, according to a Feb. 6 contract announcement from the U.S. Department of Defense. This enables asynchronous operations, developing scalable SIGINT architectures for cognitive radio and machine learning, and researching, developing, implementing, and testing hardware architectures that have agility to be integrated on the current platform but are also applicable to future platform development.
The modification brings the total value of the contract to almost $23.97 million.
Work takes place at Black River Systems’ Utica office and is expected to be completed by Oct. 3, 2026.
Fiscal 2024 research, development, test, and evaluation funds of $100,000 and fiscal 2024 operational system development funds of nearly $1.43 million are being obligated at the time of award, per the contract announcement. The Air Force Research Laboratory in Rome is the contracting authority.
Black River Systems designs, develops, deploys, and analyzes radar, infrared, acoustic, and electronic-warfare sensing systems for the Department of Defense and prime contractors. The company, headquartered at 162 Genesee St. in Utica, also has an office in Syracuse, as well as locations in Ohio, Minnesota, and California.

WYNN HOSPITAL RECEIVES TRAUMA CENTER DESIGNATION
UTICA — The Wynn Hospital, part of the Mohawk Valley Health System (MVHS), has been designated a Provisional Level III Adult Trauma Center by the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH), making it the newest trauma center in the state, MVHS recently announced.
The designation means that residents of the Mohawk Valley have access to advanced care for patients coming to the hospital after a traumatic injury.
“Our verification as a Level III trauma center recognizes the Wynn Hospital’s dedication to providing optimal care for injured patients, and we are proud to offer exceptional trauma care to those within our community,” MVHS President/CEO Darlene Stromstad said in a news release. “I applaud the dedicated members of our team, including emergency care, surgical services, orthopedics, and neurosurgical care for their contributions to this designation.”
Wynn Hospital is the only trauma center between Albany and Syracuse, providing rapid access to medical care, which is associated with better outcomes and survival rates after a traumatic injury, MVHS said.
Maurizio Miglietta was named trauma medical director for the trauma center.
“This designation is crucial to providing our community the level of care we need and deserve,” Miglietta said. “I am proud of our team for their work to receive this new designation and for the care they continue to provide our patients every day.”
Wynn Hospital opened in October 2023 as part of the Mohawk Valley Health System. MVHS serves Oneida, Herkimer, and Madison counties and employs more than 4,000 people.
