Under the five-year contract, LGS will relocate and upgrade the army's command, control, communications, computers, and intelligence (C4I) systems and infrastructure.
The company will also design, engineer, install, and test the communications network infrastructure, as well as design the virtualised data centre infrastructure.
LGS Innovations CEO Kevin Kelly said: “LGS had the right combination of risk management and logistical expertise to undertake this project, as well as a 20-year history of successful overseas network infrastructure design and installations for the army.
“This will help the US Army move into a less congested area of the Korean peninsula and update their infrastructure to improve readiness while enhancing its partnership with local communities.”
