Huntington Ingalls Industries of Newport News, VA announced on January 23 that it has been awarded a General Services Administration One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services (OASIS) task order to provide Persistent Multi-Role Operations (PMRO) support to the U.S. Air Force-Europe (USAFE) by the Federal Systems Integration and Management Center (FEDSIM).
This task order will provide Contractor Owned-Contractor Operated (COCO) manned and unmanned airborne intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) in support of Air Force requirements in the European and African theaters of operation. The task order has a base period of one year with four option years and a potential value of $954 million.
“Critical
readiness of our defense intelligence enterprise demands unique expertise and
advanced technology solutions,” said Garry Schwartz, president of Technical
Solutions’ Mission Driven Innovative Solutions group. “Over the last several
years, HII has continued to expand its ISR support to the U.S. Air Force and
other components of the Department of Defense. We are looking forward to
continuing to advance the implementation of innovative ISR solutions for USAFE
and across the DOD.”
The Air Force
directs global integrated ISR operations from forward-deployed locations
worldwide, including locations throughout the six geographic combatant
commands. Air Force ISR operations are conducted in multiple domains and across
all phases of operations and environments. The timely integration and delivery
of ISR information provides joint, defense, national, and coalition partners
with actionable intelligence for the commander and warfighter.
The objective
of this task is to provide persistent, multi-role and cross-domain ISR
capabilities that increase indications and warnings, enhance the U.S. security
defense posture, enable the freedom of movement, increase partnership capacity
and interoperability, and foster global security and stability throughout the
European and African areas of responsibility.
This is a continuation and expansion of work currently performed by HII, whose purpose is to deliver timely, accurate and relevant information to operational and strategic decision makers. This effort will provide PMRO for multiple DOD components, including Air Forces in Europe and Africa as well as other strategic and operational partners.
