iGov receives order to provide mobile communications for HMMWVs
NewsAugust 17, 2016
Reston, VA. U.S. Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) officials placed a delivery order under a previous indefinite delivery/ indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract to modify M1145 High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicles (HMMWVs). The order is worth $52,533,693.
Under contract, iGov will modify HMMWVs to provide Tactical Air Control Party users with embedded software and systems for voice, data, and video communications. Officials say this modification will allow Joint Terminal Attack Controllers (JTACs) to control Close Air Support (CAS) aircraft from an armored vehicle, while coordinating and conducting joint CAS missions.
“The Air Force Battle Management Directorate made it pretty clear that they desired a mature solution”, says Chuck Reiche, Vice President of Business Development. “We reviewed and worked with several large OEMs to ensure our ability to leverage the right products to meet the government’s technical and business requirements. Our partnership with Harris Communication Systems was a critical element, as their radio and intercom products were absolutely the right components”.
Work is expected to be completed by January, 2021 and will be performed at iGov’s facility in Tampa, Florida.
