QinetiQ US has clinched a $31.5-million task order to advance the US Army’s Integrated Sensor Architecture (ISA) program.
The five-year contract supports the program through continuing work on designing, developing, and integration activities to enable battlefield data sharing.
The ISA framework allows interoperation among different sensors in complex environments and fast changing tactical situations.
It includes standardized communication protocols and interfaces to help the sensors understand each other and exchange information.
To Define Future Needs
Under the contract, QinetiQ will continue working with multiple stakeholders to define the program’s future needs, including enhancing sensor management, collection management, data reduction, and intelligent processing.
The stakeholders are the US Army Program Executive Office Intelligence, Electronic Warfare, and Sensors (PEO IEW&S), other defense organizations, and allied partners.
“The relationship between the Army C5ISR Center, PEO IEW&S and QinetiQ US dates back to 2016, collaboratively building distributed sensor data capabilities for the US Army and other organizations to support sensor interoperability,” executive vice president and general manager of QinetiQ US’ National & Global Security Solutions Jonathan Riksen said.
“We look forward to helping PEO IEW&S manage the development, sustainment and procurement of the ISA to enable battlefield sensor systems to collect, disseminate and integrate data for command and control.”
