Wednesday, The ATLAS Consortium, which is led by HP Enterprise Services, announced the U.K. Ministry of Defence or MoD has awarded it an $890 million amendment to its contract to enable improved global collaboration and communication between MoD and its allies.
The amendment, Increment 3a, is the next programmed, critical phase of the Defence Information Infrastructure or DII contract. ATLAS will provide 42,000 computer terminals operating in the Restricted and Secret domains to the remaining MoD fixed sites, replacing outdated and expensive legacy systems. This improved capability will support some 60,000 personnel, notably within the Royal Air Force, at Joint Helicopter Command and other MoD locations.
DII will enable many of the cost management and efficiency measures required under the U.K. Defence Change Program. The ATLAS Consortium is responsible for delivering the DII Program. ATLAS is led by HP Enterprise Services and includes tier-one partner Fujitsu and partners EADS Defence and Security Systems, General Dynamics, and Logica.
