Engility Holdings, Inc. recently announced that it was awarded a five-year, $90 million task order to provide software engineering and production support to the U.S. Navy’s tactical afloat and submarine local area networks.
Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Atlantic awarded the Tactical Network (TACNET) Technical and Production Support task order through the Navy’s SeaPort Enhanced (SeaPort-e) program. TACNET is a group of systems fielded on U.S. Navy ships, submarines and shore sites, and SeaPort-e is the Navy’s electronic platform for acquiring support services.
“Engility’s cybersecurity, software, and systems engineering expertise will continue to help the Navy field their next generation tactical afloat networks,” Lynn Dugle, chair, president and CEO of Engility, said. “Building flexibility, resiliency, and adaptability into these networks will keep the Navy’s information technology infrastructure operating effectively well into the 21st century.”
On this second quarter 2018 task order, Engility will support Navy Integrated Product Teams working on fleet afloat tactical networks. These efforts support various programs of record, including the Automated Digital Network System, Submarine Local Area Network, Integrated Shipboard Network Systems and Consolidated Afloat Network Enterprise Systems (CANES).
