SRA wins $35M AF DCGS contract

SRA has been awarded a $35.4 Air Force contract for the Air Force Distributed Common Ground System (AF DCGS).

The company will support the AF DCGS Processing, Exploitation, and Dissemination (PED) Operation Center, according to the Department of Defense contract announcement.

"The current AF DCGS PED architecture consists of an asynchronous transport mode network that successfully transports serial sensor bit streams, non-serial imaging sensors bit streams (both stills and full motion video), and imagery (still and motion), voice, avionics bit streams, and data as received from reconnaissance aircraft aloft overseas to various AF DCGS sites, where processing takes place," the announcement said.

The contract is scheduled to be completed by February 2019.
