MCLEAN, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- A reliable connection to a communications network can be challenging on land—and even more so when at sea. The U.S. Navy's Tactical Networks Program Office (PMW 160) is responsible for ensuring the Navy has access to secure and reliable communications networks on any platform, anywhere. To support the modernization of these Tactical Networks, the Navy's Program Executive Office for Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence (PEO C4I) has selected Booz Allen Hamilton (NYSE: BAH) to support equipping sailors, as well as joint and coalition partners, with cyber-resilient, integrated networks and foundation computer systems. PEO C4I awarded Booz Allen a $96.1M cost-plus-fixed-fee contract, over a base plus four-year period, to complete this mission-critical work.
