ASHBURN, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
United States Air Force personnel at Little Rock Air Force Base
(LRAFB), Ark., will benefit from enhanced network speed and
reliability as a result of a site survey, engineering integration and
installation (SSEI&I) contract awarded to Telos(R) Corporation. Using
the Air Force's Network Centric Solutions (NETCENTS) contract vehicle,
the Combat Information Transport System program office has awarded
Telos a contract in excess of $2.6 million to survey and update the
base's Information Transport System (ITS) backbone.
¶ The SSEI&I incorporates a survey of the existing fiber optic
backbone, an analysis of bandwidth capacity against requirements and
the installation of new fiber and network equipment to support network
operations. Throughout the process Telos will determine the most cost
effective life cycle solution for updating LRAFB's access to the Air
Force network.
¶ Retired Air Force Brig. Gen. Jim Morehouse, NETCENTS program
manager for Telos, explained that readiness is improved when commands
invest in upgrading technology. "Little Rock Air Force Base is the
largest C-130 training base. Its primary mission is to train aircrew
members from all services and 27 nations," said Morehouse. "Successful
fulfillment of that mission means, not only that personnel have a
reliable network on which to carry out standard operations, but also
that they have a fully scalable network capable of ramping up
bandwidth during increased operational tempo."
¶ The SSEI&I at LRAFB is part of an ongoing initiative of the Combat
Information Transport System program office designed to install data,
voice and video connectivity at fixed Air Force bases worldwide.
