Trace Systems, a McLean based systems integrator and technical services firm that provides communications, networking, IT and IA, has won a contract to support the US Army’s 7th Theater Tactical Signal Brigade (7th TTSB) with more than 40 IT and information assurance (IA) subject matter experts (SMEs) in support of the Joint Network Operations Control Centre – Afghanistan (JNCC-A).
The multi-year contract, including options, has a total value in excess of $55m and is the company’s second prime contract in support of the JNCC-A.
According to Trace Systems, the United States Forces – Afghanistan (USFOR-A) requires command, control, communications, and computer information (C4I) support to remain in one enterprise program that supports planning, program management, integration, operation, and maintenance of the Combined Joint Operations Area – Afghanistan (CJOA-A) level communications and computer networks.
Trace Systems said it will enable the United States Forces – Afghanistan (USFOR-A) and the JNCC-A to achieve full interoperability of C4I systems on and off the battlefield among US, Allied, and Coalition forces, while also gaining efficiencies to establish and maintain network operations.
