Kratos
Technology and Training Solutions, Inc. won the CCS-C Production and
Sustainment Contract (CPASC) from the Space and Missile Systems
Center of the U.S. Air Force Space Command. The Company will sustain
and further develop the Command and Control System-Consolidated
system, which generates telemetry, tracking, and command for
operational and planned MILSATCOM satellites.
Kratos
will receive $17.5 million for its first year of service. The
contract has options for a total of six years of service worth $133
million all in all.
CPASC
will generate telemetry, tracking, and command services for three
more Wideband Global SATCOM satellites and two extra Advanced
Extremely High Frequency satellites. The contract is a fixed price
incentive type; it came with a one year base period and options for
continued service up to 2018.
CPASC
also has unique plans in store for Kratos, the CCS-C program office,
and the Ogden Air Logistics Complex (OO-ALC) to create a
public-private partnership. OO-ALC is predicted to sustain a fifth of
CCS-C's core software by 201, improving the repair capabilities of
organic depots that handle space systems.
CCS-C
supports the Defense Satellite Communication System, Milstar, AEHF,
and WGS families of satellites by deliving integrated MILSATCOM
command and control services. It can perform a wide variety of
operations, including those connected with the state of health of
satellites.
