Additionally, Serco will be deploying the Physical Security Information Management System (PSIM). PSIM is a smart coordinator that seamlessly integrates data from various security systems. This advanced system presents information in a clear and accessible manner to the appropriate authorities.

“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.”
