The Titan Corporation announced Wednesday that the United States Army Space and Missile Defense Command has awarded the company a competitive contract having a potential value of $163.9 million with options, if exercised. The award, on behalf of United States Northern Command (USNORTHCOM) for the U.S. Joint Task Force Civil Support (JTF-CS) headquartered at Ft. Monroe, Virginia, is to provide a full range of planning, analysis, exercise, and information technology services for Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and High-Yield Explosive (CBRNE) Consequence Management operations. "This latest USNORTHCOM award highlights Titan's position as a principal provider of Homeland Security and Homeland Defense solutions," said Gene Ray, Titan's chairman, president, and CEO. "We are proud to expand upon our partnerships with the United States Northern Command and JTF-CS, the command's primary standing Joint Task Force dedicated solely to planning and integrating Department of Defense forces for consequence management support to civil authorities addressing situations involving weapons of mass destruction in the war on terror." The purpose of JTF-CS is to save lives, prevent injury and provide temporary critical life support in the event of a chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear or high-yield explosive situation in the United States or its territories and possessions. When directed by USNORTHCOM's Commander, JTF-CS deploys to the incident site, establishes command and control for designated DoD forces, and provides military assistance to civil authorities. JTF-CS is a standing joint task force comprised of active, reserve and Guard members from the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard, as well as civilian personnel. |
