By GlobalDataDCS executive vice-president Bill Protzman said: “This is a strategic win for DCS. Our capabilities in engineering, testing, logistics and programme management are well aligned to PNT mission requirements.
“We currently support PEO IEW&S through PM Terrestrial Sensors and look forward to continuing our support to the PEO within PM PNT, particularly as the army is at a modernisation crossroads.”
The PM PMT task order brings together a number of US Army contracts to form a single task order under the Tank and Automotive Command (TACOM) Strategic Service Solutions Knowledge Based Services (TS3 KBS) contract.
