BAE Systems Information and Electronic Systems Integration has been awarded an $8.7 million Air Force contract for software that will disconnect and reconnect users to a network.
Under the Air Force Research Laboratory contract, BAE will develop “a PHOENIX software system that allows first responders to entirely disconnect a non-cooperative organization from its network infrastructure and then selectively reform on a separate secure emergency network,” according to the Department of Defense contract announcement.
The contract is scheduled for completion in July 2020.
