Globecomm Systems Continues Support For GPS-Based Force Tracking System
Hauppauge NY (SPX) Dec 10, 2008 Globecomm Systems has announced that the Company has received a contract modification from NATO valued at $7.3 million to extend communication services for on site support for the Company's previously deployed GPS-Based Force Tracking System (FTS). Globecomm previously announced approximately $27.5 million in contracts from NATO to design and install a GPS FTS, bringing the combined contract value to $34.8 million. The FTS provides NATO with high levels of tracking data and messaging traffic. It enables NATO to identify where its personnel are located at all times, identify other multi-national forces and have the ability to do so in routine and operational situations. This is critical in assisting with the identification of friendly versus enemy forces and helps prevent fratricide or "blue-on-blue" incidents. Paul Knudsen, Vice President of Globecomm's Eastern Atlantic Team, said, "Globecomm's relationship with NATO continues to expand. This on-going project demonstrates how Globecomm's infrastructure business units complement the Company's service operations and validates our end-to-end solution business model."
