BAE Systems to provide software engineering support for U.S. Army intelligence systems
Jan. 10, 2013
ARLINGTON, Va., 10 Jan. 2013. Officials of the U.S. Army Communications-Electronics Command (CECOM) at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Md., needed software and systems engineering services to support CECOM’s Software Engineering Center (SEC). They found their solution from the BAE Systems Intelligence and Security sector in Arlington, Va.
BAE Systems will provide software support to CECOM under an indefinite delivery indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract.
The CECOM SEC provides lifecycle maintenance and support to ensure interoperability and function of the U.S. Army’s command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C4ISR) systems.
BAE Systems is one of the prime contractors on the five year, multi-award IDIQ. The total value of all task orders that will be released under the IDIQ is estimated at $7 billion.
BAE Systems software experts will provide services ranging from "evaluating software capabilities for enterprise cloud computing systems, to integrating mobile cyber security solutions for tactical battlefield communications," says DeEtte Gray, president of BAE Systems Intelligence and Security.
BAE Systems Intelligence & Security manages big data, informs big decisions, and supports big missions, company officials say. For more information contact BAE Systems Intelligence and Security online at www.baesystems.com/intel.
