Australia is looking to improve its presence in space with a focus on communications and creating a dedicated segment of its defence forces committed to the domain.
Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc., a leading National Security Solutions provider, announced today that the US Navy has awarded Kratos a services contract to perform Information Technology (IT), Information Assurance and Cybersecurity supporting the Pacific Region. The contract is valued at $8 million if all options are exercised.
Kratos will provide a variety of technology services including customer/user service support; system operations support; information assurance and cybersecurity support; adoption and deployment of the web-centric development program; Secure Network (SECNET) administration and secure wireless systems support; and process improvement of knowledge management.
The work will help ensure the implementation of a technology architecture and higher authority that will enable access to systems and information necessary to perform intermediate or depot level maintenance jobs from any authorized location.
"Our relationship with the US Navy is long and trusted one," said Phil Carrai, President of the Kratos Information Technology Solutions Division. "It is our great pleasure to be able to apply our IT expertise toward ensuring that the network is secure, reliable and available when called upon to support the Navy's mission."
