HII Mission Technologies division won a $458 million contract to modernize federal communications and IT networks for rapid decision-making in the battlespace.
HII was awarded the 5-year task order under the Defense Department’s Information Analysis Center Multiple Award Contract vehicle.
“We are honored by the customer’s trust in HII and our approach,” said Andy Green, executive vice president of HII and president of Mission Technologies.
“As we advance their IT transformation goals, we are committed to delivering cutting-edge expertise and solutions that will have a direct, positive impact on our front-line warfighters.”
Under the task order, HII will develop and implement innovative technical solutions to improve system hardening to potential cyber threats, introduce new capabilities and enable cloud migration, the company said. These innovations will provide end users in the Defense Department and the U.S. Special Operations Command with IT services and solutions to support the warfighters.
Through the communications and IT modernization effort, HII will leverage model-based systems engineering to focus on communication hardware prototyping, waveform development, mobile ad-hoc network aerial relay solutions, payloads and deployable communication kits.
“Equipping our warfighters with access to integrated ISR capabilities will help them to achieve information superiority in support of homeland defense and the protection of U.S. interests abroad,” said Todd Gentry, president of Mission Technologies’ C5ISR business group.
