NEEDHAM, Mass., Sept. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- General Dynamics Network Systems
was chosen to install a complete voice, video, and data network infrastructure
for the U.S. Army at Camp Victory, in Baghdad, Iraq. This project is valued
at $3.6 million for General Dynamics and is expected to expand to include
additional military installations in the Baghdad area. General Dynamics
Network Systems is a business unit of General Dynamics (NYSE: GD).
This effort is part of the Army's Kuwait Iraq C4 Commercialization (KICC)
program, providing strategic communications at U.S. military bases within Iraq
and throughout Southwest Asia. The project was competitively awarded under the
Army's Communications and Electronics Command (CECOM) Rapid Response contract
(R2). Computer Sciences Corp. (CSC), a prime contractor under the R2 program,
chose General Dynamics to provide inside-plant, data, and voice infrastructure
solutions for this project.
"General Dynamics Network Systems is pleased to have the opportunity to
expand its relationship with the Army in this region," said Vic Lanio, the
General Dynamics vice president responsible for this contract. "As the
requirements within Iraq and the theater continue to evolve, we will partner
with the Army to provide the IT solutions it needs to successfully execute its
mission."
This award continues General Dynamics Network Systems' long legacy of
providing network infrastructure solutions to the Army worldwide. The company
recently completed similar infrastructure work in Kuwait and is upgrading the
voice switches and installing data networks throughout Korea. General Dynamics
is also upgrading and expanding the communications voice network at Fort
Gordon in Augusta, Ga., one of the Department of Defense's premier training
centers for military communications and information technology.
General Dynamics, headquartered in Falls Church, Virginia, employs
approximately 69,400 people worldwide and anticipates 2004 revenue of $19
billion. The company is a market leader in mission-critical information
systems and technologies; land and expeditionary combat systems, armaments and
munitions; shipbuilding and marine systems; and business aviation.
