Intelligent Waves has been awarded a competitive, single award indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract with the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA). The contract called Enhanced Mobile Satellite Services (EMSS) Global Logistical Services Management Contract (ELOG) has a life-cycle value of $48 million and a 1-year base with 4-year options, the company announced Thursday. 

EMSS provides deployed warfighters and partnering agencies with global communication services through a dedicated, EMSS-controlled satellite gateway that uses the commercial Iridium satellite constellation. EMSS services and support include the Distributed Tactical Communication System (DTCS), an over-the-horizon, beyond-line-of-sight, “netted” satellite communication capability that employs cutting-edge devices, and corresponding systems allowing users to transmit information from unique environments. Intelligent Waves, an end-to-end information technology government solutions provider, will provide global logistical service management and field service representatives in support of the DTCS and the EMSS program. The Defense Information Technology Contracting Organization at Scott U.S. Air Force Base in Illinois is the contracting activity.

“For over a decade, Intelligent Waves has proudly supported the warfighter and military operations with sophisticated communication systems,” Intelligent Waves CTO Marqus Hutchinson said. “This award demonstrates our ability to deliver mission-critical solutions in support of our customers.”
