UltiSat has received a contract to support Lockheed Martin for the Sensor Systems - Aerial Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (SS-AISR) task order on the US Army's R2-3G indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract vehicle.
The contract will see UltiSat support the SS-AISR programme in AISR data collection, ground-based processing, dissemination and exploitation for missions worldwide.
The UltiSat ISR services team will provide personnel to operate and manage the aerial reconnaissance support team, intelligence analyst, and all network communications for the overall programme at multiple US and international locations, in order to deliver efficiency and reliability.
