Army adds additional $10.4M to Black Box contract
LAWRENCE – Black Box Corp., a leading digital solutions provider, said Thursday it has been awarded an additional $10.4 million for the continuation of supplies and services under its current contract for the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative, which is administered through and funded by the U.S. Army.
In support of this new order, Black Box will expand the Ukraine Ministry of Defense’s enterprise IT architecture to additional sites within Ukraine. Over the next 12 months, it will provide IT supplies and services to both expand the enterprise system and enable command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities to more users at military installations throughout the country. Black Box said its C4ISR solutions will deliver new network asset management, updated software applications and documented configuration management capabilities.
In September 2016, Lawrence-based Black Box was chosen to support the Army’s primary objective: design, deployment, operations, and sustainment of an enhanced cyber security operations center command and control center, medical and logistical information systems in Ukraine.
The company said in its partnership with the U.S. Army and the Ukraine Ministry of Defense, it is delivering comprehensive support to the Ukrainian warfighter, in combat zones and at the home station.
