Rome Research awarded US C4I contract
BAE Systems has contracted Rome Research for the operation and maintenance of multiple communications facilities operating under the Naval Computer and Telecommunications Area Master Station Pacific (NCTAMS PAC) programme, it was announced on 7 January.
The contract is valued at $12.9 million and will be performed over a period of 31 months.
The contract will see the company provide critical command, control, telecommunications, computers, and intelligence, and strategic communications across the Indian Ocean and Pacific theatre for the US Department of Defense (DoD), Missile Defense Agency, National Security Agency, Homeland Security and allies.
Daily operations will be supported at strategic installations in Hawaii, including the Lualualei Naval Radio Transmitter facility, the Kaneohe Bay Tactical Support Communications facility, and the Wahiawa DoD SATCOM facility. Personnel will also provide support for the USAF High Frequency Global Communications System, a worldwide network of 15 high-power HF stations providing command and control communications between ground agencies and US military aircraft and ships.
Matt Cicchinelli, president, PAR’s government business, said: ‘We are pleased that BAE Systems selected PAR Technology to support the NCTAMS PAC programme. PAR has a long history of integrating, managing, and controlling a variety of communications interfaces between the Defense Information System Network terrestrial and tactical satellite communications assets and continues to provide critical support to numerous DoD operating locations around the world.’
