The task order also sets requirements for operations and maintenance support for the CMAFS Information Systems Infrastructure.

According to the firm, the missions include warnings and control from airborne, land-based and space-based systems that identify threat activities both in air and space against North America and its allies.

Jacobs Critical Mission Solutions senior vice-president Steve Arnette said: “We welcome the opportunity to help support the US Air Force (USAF) in continual operation, maintenance and sustainment of the systems necessary to make decisions about threats to North America, and to maintain space situational awareness.

“The importance of the USAF mission and challenges they face sustaining complex systems for a no-fail mission are tremendous catalysts that energise our entire workforce to redefine what’s possible in delivering innovative solutions.”
