Litton Wins $34 Million Contract To Support U.S. Army STRICOM's CIO
WOODLAND HILLS, Calif.---PRC Inc., a subsidiary of Litton Industries, announced that it was selected to continue to provide information technology (IT) support services to the U.S. Army STRICOM (Simulation, Training and Instrumentation Command) Chief Information Officer. Litton PRC won the best-value competition and was awarded a single award contract with a value of $34 million over a five-year period.
STRICOM is responsible for melding battle strategy and tactics into the training objectives and exercises that will guarantee combat- ready troops. STRICOM manages all of the Army combat maneuver training centers in the United States and Germany. Litton PRC will continue to develop and maintain a state-of-the-art, high-performance network to support STRICOM administrative activities. The contract tasks include systems engineering for local and wide area networks, information and network security, automated data processing asset management, and management of customer service desks for Web operations and e-mail systems.
"In an increasingly dynamic and rapidly changing world, training the men and women of the Army assumes critical importance to mission readiness and performance,'' said Len Pomata, Litton vice president and president of PRC. "Litton PRC welcomes the opportunity to support STRICOM by providing mission critical networks offering enhanced reliability, security and availability.''
The STRICOM IT Services contract is one of several range operations contracts that Litton PRC has won over the last two decades. These contracts include the U.S. Army Yuma Proving Grounds contract and the recent win to support the Navy's East Coast Tactical Training Range Complex.
Litton PRC, a leading provider of scientific, engineering, information technology-based solutions for public sector clients, is one of the divisions that comprise Litton's Information Systems Group (ISG). Litton ISG, with headquarters in Woodland Hills, employs approximately 9,000 people in 150 offices nationwide, and is ranked as one of the federal government's top contractors.
