BAE Systems has moved a server-based mission application into a virtualized data-center environment to increase reliability and reduce operating costs, bringing to a close the first task order under the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency’s (NGA) Total Application Services for Enterprise Requirements (TASER) contract.
According to the firm, “Under TASER, NGA will similarly transition other legacy hardware and software systems to an application and infrastructure service provider business model over the next five years, as part of a $1 billion indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract in which BAE Systems will compete for task orders.”
“This important TASER milestone sets the stage for future task orders to accelerate the delivery of proven technology and mission capabilities to warfighters, public safety officials, and policy makers, ” said John Gannon, president of BAE Systems’ Intelligence & Security sector.
