RESTON, Va., Aug. 16, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- iGov, provider of C4ISR systems and support programs, announced today that the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC)  awarded them a $52,533,693 delivery order (0002) to previously awarded Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity, (IDIQ) contract FA8730-16-D-0007 to modify M1145 High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicles (HMMWVs). iGov will modify HMMWVs to provide Tactical Air Control Party users with embedded software and systems for critical voice, data, and video communications.

"The Air Force Battle Management Directorate made it pretty clear that they desired a mature solution," says Chuck Reiche, Vice President of Business Development. "We reviewed and worked with several large OEMs to ensure our ability to leverage the right products to meet the government's technical and business requirements. Our partnership with Harris Communication Systems was a critical element, as their radio and intercom products were absolutely the right components."
