“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.”
