Lockheed, Sanmina Team for Army Contract
November 27, 2007 |Estimated reading time: Less than a minute
OWEGO, N.Y. Lockheed Martin and Sanmina-SCI signed a teaming agreement, allowing them to collaborate in a bid for the U.S. Army's next-generation digital intercommunications system contract. The job is worth $3.5 billion over about five years. The companies plan to offer an enhanced tactical vehicle version of Sanmina's TOCNET intercommunication system.
The Army will use the vehicular intercommunication system extended (VIS-X) to upgrade 54,000 intercom systems in tanks, trucks, and other tactical wheeled vehicles with improved on-the-move, command-and-control, over-the-horizon voice and data communications. The contract will be directed by its Communications-Electronics Command (CECOM) in Ft. Monmouth, N.J., and may be announced by mid-2008. Lockheed and Sanmina expect the contract to be worth about five years' indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity business.
The collaborative bid is a low-risk, off-the-shelf digital system designed for battlefield environments, said Michele Evans, VP of aircraft systems, Lockheed Martin Systems Integration. It also includes testing, fielding, training, and maintenance of the electronics systems. Lockheed and Sanmina will manage logistics to ensure global support.
