This advanced system presents information in a clear and accessible manner to the appropriate authorities. By doing so, Serco empowers security personnel with the tools needed to make informed decisions and efficiently manage a spectrum of security technologies, ensuring a robust and effective security ecosystem.

“Serco has been at the forefront of delivering anti-terrorism, force protection technology services to the US Navy globally since 2003,” said Tom Watson, Serco Inc.’s Chief Executive Officer. “This contract award underscores our commitment to the mission and I commend the exceptional Serco team for their role in providing these mission-critical services.”
