Communications firm tapped to provide expertise for U.S. Air Force NETCENTS program
Dec 7, 2004 4:35 PM 

Harris Corporation has been selected to provide systems integration, network development, and communications technology expertise for the U.S. Air Force's $9 billion Network Centric Solutions program. NETCENTS will provide the Air Force with a single program to buy net-centric information technologies, networking equipment and services—and voice, video and data communications hardware and software.

For Harris, the NETCENTS program represents a five-year indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract opportunity in which they will assist the two teams with the standardization of communications network solutions.

CENTECH Group Inc., a member of the NETCENTS small business team, selected Harris to provide systems integration and communications development expertise. General Dynamics selected Harris to lead RF systems and network development efforts as part of the large business team.

Harris will also provide various commercial off-the-shelf solutions (COTS) for IT, networking telephony and security—and voice, video and data communications—that will help the NETCENTS program satisfy Air Force requirements for the emerging Global Information Grid.

The NETCENTS program was awarded to a total of eight firms in both the large- and small-business sectors. In addition to General Dynamics, other members of the large-business team include Booz Allen Hamilton, Lockheed Martin, and Northrop Grumman Information Technology. The small-business team members, in addition to CENTECH, are Multimax Inc., NCI Information Systems Inc., and Telos Corporation.
