Additional responsibilities under the contract include providing systems support at the 30th Space Wing (30 SW) at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, US.

Retired Air Force colonel and 45th Space Wing, Mission Support Group former commander Loretta Kelemen, who will serve as GlobalAOC general manager, said the company’s cost-conscious approach will ensure availability of a ‘go for launch’ range environment during severe budget constraints.

"Realistically applying the customer’s consolidation directives with our own managerial agility is the key to mission success here," Kelemen added.

GlobalAOC World Services chairman and chief executive officer, Sherri Bovino, said the decision to serve as the programme’s prime contractor was taken based on the company’s collaborative Large LISC work with Boeing.
