NUKEWARS

Dayton OH (SPX) Jan 14, 2005
MTC Technologies and subsidiaries has announced the award of a five-year contract to provide Sustainment System Engineering and Acquisition Management Support Services (SSE & AMS) for the Nuclear Treaty Monitoring Directorate of the Air Force Technical Applications Center (AFTAC).

The contract, a re-compete of a previous five-year contract, has a base year and four option years, each with a potential value of $3 million per year for a total potential award of $15 million. The award was made to MTC's subsidiary, Command Technologies' Kemerait Engineering Group (KEG).

Located at Patrick Air Force Base, Florida, KEG will provide systems engineering, program management, data management, and bilateral agreement support. The division currently employs numerous specialized scientific and technical personnel supporting AFTAC's worldwide nuclear treaty monitoring mission.

"KEG's highly technical organization is an excellent compliment to MTC's expanding base of operations in Florida," said David Gutridge, MTC's Chief Executive Officer. "KEG provides MTC with an introduction into the international arena of 'cradle to grave' solutions for AFTAC programs at sites located in several countries around the world. KEG's personnel possess expertise in such disciplines as signal processing applications in radionuclide, infrasound, seismic, and hydroacoustic analyses."

"We are also pleased that we will now host High Interest Support Panels, including the Seismic Review Panel, the Satellite Review Panel, and the Department of Energy annual review, at our new facility in Satellite Beach, Florida," Mr. Gutridge added.

"This facility will also be the site for five Joint Scientific Commission meetings from host country seismic organizations in the coming year."
