Australia looks towards space with force restructure, investment and training
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.
ManTech International has been awarded a cyber-range services contract for the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) and US Marine Corps (USMC), the company announced on 7 October.
The $250 million contract has a one year base period and three option years. The company will expand services and capabilities to improve cyber workforce operational tactics, techniques, and procedures across agencies.
Under the contract, ManTech will continue to provide advanced information technology, red team support, information assurance, cyber engineering, training, and certification and accreditation services to improve real-world cyber security training experience.
The company will also design, test, build and operate sophisticated cyber range and training environments that will be capable of simulating full-spectrum Computer Network Operation scenarios.
L. William Varner, president, ManTech Mission, Cyber & Intelligence Group, said: ‘The cyber range is one of the most critical training resources available to help cyber security professionals fight and win cyber battles on the front lines. ManTech looks forward to providing the best possible tools and resources for preparing our next generation of cyber warriors.’
