Iron Bow Technologies has won a $144-million contract to provide networking services to the US Air Force Life Cycle Management Center.
The four-year agreement will deliver the company’s Theater Deployable Communications Agile Communications Packages (TDC ACP) to Hanscom AFB in Massachusetts.
The TDC ACP comprises data and voice networking services that will be employed across air force theater installations and command and control bases.
These areas include the Area of Responsibility to Continental US and Combatant Commanders.
Securing US Air Force Communications
According to Iron Bow, the project will expand current data connectivity solutions under US Department of Defense information networks.
It will also enhance capabilities supporting the military’s joint all-domain command and control operations.
Works for the TDC ACP will leverage the Defense Information Systems Agency’s standardized tactical entry point sites to target other software-defined wide network area approaches.
“We at Iron Bow are honored to be a longstanding partner to the U.S. Air Force, providing advanced and secure communications technologies to help warfighters meet their missions to fly, fight, and win,” Iron Bow CEO and President Rene LaVigne said.
Other TDC Contracts
In 2013, the US Air Force awarded Illinois-based wireless solutions provider Cambium Networks a contract to deliver communication capabilities for the TDC program.
For the agreement, the company provided its point-to-point 45,600 high-capacity line-of-sight radios to replace the service’s legacy radio frequency module radio.
