QinetiQ to support US Army PEO IEW&S with ISA

QinetiQ US has been awarded a five year, $31.5 million task order supporting the US Army Program Executive Office (PEO) Intelligence, Electronic Warfare and Sensors (IEW&S), which continues the design, development and integration activities for the Integrated Sensor Architecture (ISA) programme, to help support data sharing of sensors seamlessly across battlefield networks.

Jonathan Riksen (above), executive vice president and general manager, QinetiQ US’ National & Global Security Solutions, said: "The relationship between the Army C5ISR Center, PEO IEW&S and QinetiQ US dates back to 2016, collaboratively building distributed sensor data capabilities for the US Army and other organisations to support sensor interoperability.
 
"We look forward to helping PEO IEW&S manage the development, sustainment and procurement of the ISA to enable battlefield sensor systems to collect, disseminate and integrate data for command and control."

QinetiQ US will continue working closely with Army PEOs, other defence organisations and Allied partners to define the future needs for the ISA. QinetiQ’s ISA team will work with multiple stakeholders to define new services in a network – enhancing sensor management, collection management, data reduction and intelligent processing.

This task order reinforces the company’s position as a key partner in advancing the US Army’s computing environments and sensor capabilities. By leveraging its expertise in sensor technology and data management, QinetiQ US is poised to make significant contributions to the future of military sensor operations.
