MCLEAN, Va., June 16 (UPI) -- The U.S. Army has contracted Americom Government Services to support the Trojan operational intelligence network.
AGS, a satellite solutions provider, was awarded a five-year, $136.2 million follow-on contract to support the Army Trojan network. Under the deal, AGS will continue to provide the Army with satellite bandwidth for the network along with engineering, operations and maintenance support.
AGS, which has been contracted by the Army to support the Trojan network since 1998, will continue initiatives to enhance the network capabilities offering military personnel operational intelligence for combat readiness.
"It is a privilege to continue supporting this network, and we are proud to have our performance validated by customer satisfaction in this important area," Dave Jackson, AGS chief operating officer and Trojan program executive, said in a statement.
"We are committed to performing at a level that will support the Army's mission and successes going forward."
Officials say the contract has options that could extend the contract by five additional years, bringing the total contract to a potential $286.5 million over 10 years.
