Telos Corporation received a three-year contract valued at $13.5 million from the 16th Air Force to continue support for Air Force Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance systems. The work centers on sustaining ongoing support for systems that operate across the Air Force Intelligence Community.

Under the contract, Telos will provide Xacta® license maintenance, training, and cyber services. The stated goal is to help sustain security, compliance, and operational readiness for mission-critical intelligence systems supporting the Air Force Intelligence Community.

Telos described its Xacta platform as automating cyber governance, risk and compliance (GRC) processes, including processes tied to security authorizations and continuous compliance. It said the platform is used alongside Telos cyber services and training expertise.

John B. Wood, chairman and CEO of Telos, said, “Protecting Air Force intelligence systems requires both proven technology and deep cyber expertise,” and added, “We’re proud to continue supporting this mission with our Xacta platform and the experienced professionals who help customers maintain secure, compliant and mission-ready environments.” The company also stated that its Xacta platform and services help sustain mission-critical operations in demanding environments.

Forward-looking statements in the release were presented under safe harbor provisions of federal securities laws, and they were described as subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from expectations.
