FAA Awards NICE Systems Contract to Enhance ATC Incident Recording
The FAA has awarded NICE Systems a contract to enhance air traffic recording capability at up to 850 FAA and Department of
Defense sites.
The contract is part of FAA's VRRP (voice recorder replacement program), which is part of the agency's larger
initiative to modernize the U.S. air traffic control system. The FAA will be
replacing its existing digital voice recording systems with NICE Systems' Inform
multimedia incident information management solution, which will enable a
more rapid and thorough review of ATC incidents.
The seven-year IDIQ (indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity) contract is potentially worth up to $69 million, of
which NICE has already received an initial order worth $2.7 million.
NICE is partnering with the Raytheon Company on the program, which will be deploying the systems and providing training
to FAA personnel. 05-06-2007. |
