Rome Research Corporation (RRC) recently announced that it won a $6.8 million contract from the U.S. Navy. RRC will provide Teleport Commercial Satellite Terminal services at the Navy's Global Information Grid (GIG) facility in Lago Patria, Italy.
The GIG is the global network of information capabilities, processes, and personnel. It collects, processes, stores, disseminates, and manages information on demand for the use of military commanders, policy makers, and support personnel around the world through various interlinked wireless and satellite communications systems.
The grid operates during peacetime and war by supporting numerous missions and functions of the Department of Defense (DoD), national security, and related intelligence community. Its capabilities allow it to operate locations ranging from fixed bases, posts, camps, stations, and facilities to mobile platforms and deployable sites. Coalition, allied, and non-DoD users and systems can all access its systems through secure teleport facilities like the one in Lago Patria.
As a PAR Technology Corporation subsidiary, RRC runs a similar Navy facility at Chesapeake, Virginia. It also performs the same teleport terminal services in Landstuhl, Germany, and at Camp Roberts in California on behalf of the US Army. This experience makes the RRC eminently suitable to running the Navy's GIG teleport station in Italy.
