Akima, a premier provider of products and services to the federal government, announced today that its subsidiary, Akima Systems Engineering (ASE), has been awarded a contract by the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command (USINDOPACOM) to modernize critical IT and communications infrastructure that is crucial for national security. The contract has a total value of $55M and five-year period of performance, if all options are exercised.
USINDOPACOM’s contract with ASE aims to enhance its Common Computing Environment (CCE) through emerging communication and IT technology. These services span systems engineering, network and telecommunication management, information protection, cyber defense, application development, electronic key management, and project and information management.
“Akima Systems Engineering is committed to enhancing and modernizing the defense communications infrastructure in the Indo-Pacific theater, recognizing our crucial duty to protect national security using emerging IT and communications technology,” said Duncan Greene, President of Akima’s Mission Systems, Engineering & Technology Group. “This new partnership will strengthen the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command’s Common Computing Environment, directly aiding their mission of maintaining peace and security throughout a strategically important region.”
Headquartered at Camp H. M. Smith, Hawaii, USINDOPACOM, one of the United States’ six geographic Unified Combatant Commands, oversees a vast area of responsibility stretching from the U.S. west coast to India and from Antarctica to the North Pole. Its mission, crucial for maintaining peace and security in the Indo-Pacific region, relies on secure, reliable, and resilient voice, data, and video communications systems, which are becoming increasingly vital amid rising geopolitical tensions and evolving cyber threats.
