L-3 Communications joins TRW-led team competing for AF satellite work Three divisions of New York-based L-3 Communications have joined a TRW-led team vying to replace the Air Force's Satellite Control Network Command and Control Segment, the company announced May 9. L-3's Communication Systems-West, Telemetry & Instrumentation and Storm Control Systems are part of the team led by TRW Inc., which has been awarded a Phase One contract in support of the Command and Control System-Consolidated (CCS-C) program. Integral Systems, Inc., is leading a rival team for the CCS-C program, which will replace the current AF network supporting Military Satellite Communications (MILSATCOM) and other advanced satellite programs. L-3 Communications' role on the TRW team involves leading efforts in space vehicle command and telemetry processing, according to the company. Under the prime contract, each team received a $3.4 million fixed-price award. Both teams will perform Phase One efforts to demonstrate proposed command and control systems. After that, one team will be selected to develop and sustain the CCS-C program from 2002 to 2010, a contract potentially worth $142.7 million. L-3's Communication Systems-West will provide systems integration, satellite simulation, software development and maintenance and logistics support to the TRW team; Telemetry & Instrumentation will provide telemetry processing and front-end hardware and software, and Storm Control Systems will provide the command procedure platform, spacecraft telemetry displays, Air Force Satellite Control Network connectivity and software development.
