TeleCommunication Systems, Inc. (TCS), a world leader in high availability and secure mobile communication technology, today announced that it has been awarded a new order with a ceiling value of $9.6 million to provide 3-D terrain mapping software and database models as well as training and exercises to the US Army. This order is initially funded at $5.4 million and will be funded up to a total of $9.6 million if the options are fully exercised through 2011. This order is funded by the Program Executive Office Aviation (PEO AVN) and relates to the continued supply of equipment to the UAS Project Office and the SUAV Product Office.

This award was made under the Army's $5 billion World-Wide Satellite Systems (WWSS) Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle in support of the Project Manager for the Warfighter Information Network-Tactical (PM WIN-T). Under the WWSS procurement vehicle, customers may place orders through August 2011 for delivery up to a year thereafter.

"TCS provides a wealth of solutions that support these critical strategies in theatres around the world."

TCS has established a proven track record for more than two decades as a trusted provider of communication technology solutions to solve the government's toughest technical challenges, under conditions that demand the highest level of reliability, availability and security.
