ANNAPOLIS, Md.

The contract, awarded to a group of more than 50 companies, has a five-year renewable option.
Under the terms of the agreement, the company will provide aviation-based command and control (C2) products, global networks and engineering services to U.S. government agencies and organizations, and will deliver continuous and uninterrupted worldwide operational C2 and engineering.
