Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp. and Invertix Corp. have recently teamed up to pursue the Advanced Technical Exploitation Program (ATEP) II contract with the National Air and Space Intelligence Center (NASIC) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. Under the contract, Invertix and Ball Aerospace will continue providing R&D, systems engineering, and data analysis support to the Air Force and the Dayton region for the next decade.
The teaming agreement allows Invertix, as the prime contractor, to extend its GEOINT and MASINT offerings to NASIC and allows Ball Aerospace the opportunity to maintain its position as the leader in innovative data exploitation technologies. Ball Aerospace has supported NASIC’s programs for nearly 30 years by conducting research and development, developing algorithms and data analysis tools and building end-to-end data exploitation systems, among many other tasks.
“This win-win teaming agreement highlights the complementary strengths of Ball and Invertix to perform multiple technology and service-based projects,” said Dan Gibson, vice president and general manager of Ball’s Systems Engineering Solutions business unit. “We expect this to be a successful relationship on ATEP II as well as on other federal contracts that leverage our mutual strengths.”
Art Hurtado, CEO at Invertix, commented on the contract, saying “Invertix and Ball Aerospace are a perfect match as we move forward in a world focused on affordability and best value.” He added, “Together our companies provide the government with considerable technical offerings that our customers expect.”
