Sigma Defense company SOLUTE has been awarded a U.S. Navy Digital Integration Support Cell task order to facilitate development security operations for Naval Air Systems Command’s Minotaur Family of Services.
Under the contract, SOLUTE will stand up MFoS, which links sensors, cameras, radar and communications equipment into a single system for surveillance in a secure cloud environment. The goal is to provide improved scale for access, security, collaboration, performance, test and validation.
“We are excited to work with NAVAIR to accelerate development of the MFoS program through the Black Pearl DevSecOps environment,” said SOLUTE Executive Vice President of Operations John Lyons.
“By leveraging groundbreaking software to automate manual functions and make surveillance more effective, we provide our servicemen and women with accurate intelligence faster than ever before,” Lyons added.
SOLUTE will also leverage its existing work with the Black Pearl platform — a software practice solving software delivery issues across the Naval Enterprise — to facilitate the systems integration in the secure cloud DevSecOps environment. The environment uses the Black Pearl Party Barge, a DevSecOps baseline which allows for the creation and maintenance of modern software factories.
The modular nature of the environment will also enable rapid integration of existing environments and continuous development, testing and delivery. MFoS is one of several Navy customers who has transitioned to SOLUTE’s modern DevSecOps environment.
