U.S. Air Force Awards Integral Systems $14.2 Million CCS-C Contract Modification
Jul 7, 2010
Air Force (USAF) Space and
Missile Systems Center (SMC) has awarded Integral Systems a $14.2M contract
modification to its Command and Control System - Consolidated (CCS-C) contract.
Under the terms of the contract modification, Integral Systems will continue to
provide the USAF and SMC with its EPOCH Integrated Product Suite (IPS) to
simplify operations through the consolidation of satellite ground systems.
The CCS-C contract, first awarded in early 2002, enables a unified Command
and Control (C2) capability for the 50th Space Wing's complete family of
MILSATCOM satellite programs. Through the use of standards-based systems and an
open architecture approach, the 50th Space Wing efficiently and cost-effectively
supports future satellite platforms and programs.
"We are pleased to continue this successful partnership with both the
MILSATCOM CCS-C program and the 50th Space Wing," said Paul Casner, Chief
Executive Officer of Integral Systems. "The successful, on-time transition of
legacy and future MILSATCOM satellites to CCS-C, including DSCS, Milstar, WGS,
and Advanced Extremely High Frequency (AEHF) satellites, in conjunction with the
ground breaking operational efficiencies gained, are a testament to the ongoing
success of CCS-C and representative of an exceptional Air Force and Integral
Systems partnership."
The contract modification provides extension of the AEHF development
contract. The extension is to provide contract coverage to account for launches
of AEHF SVs 1-3 through 2012.
