QinetiQ US has secured a place on the U.S. Army’s $4 billion Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) under the Product Director (PD) Aerostats program.

The 10-year Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract will support system integration, hardware procurement, engineering, logistics, and operations for aerostat-based surveillance platforms.

According to a release from QinetiQ US, the contract encompasses support for the Persistent Surveillance System – Tethered (PSS-T), future Elevated Sensing requirements, and the Persistent Surveillance Dissemination System of Systems (PSDS2) program.
 

These platforms provide round-the-clock situational awareness, crucial for U.S. border security and defense missions both domestically and abroad.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
