New York transportation network awards $212 million contract for security
Dibya Sarkar writes in FCW.com:
The New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA)has awarded a three-year, $212 million contract to a Lockheed Martin-led team to upgrade the authority’s electronic security infrastructure.
Under the Integrated Electronic Security System and Command, Communications and Control (IESS/C3) program, Lockheed’s team will design, develop and deploy the system, which includes maintenance options that could extend the program through September 2013, according to the company’s press release. The announcement was made about two weeks ago.
The team will install more than 1,000 cameras and 3,000 sensors – including motion and perimeter sensors, intelligent video, closed circuit television and other threat-detection technologies – throughout the MTA system, which is North America’s largest transportation network
After Lockheed’s team completes the program, security operators will have access to incident management response and recovery capabilities across MTA’s network. The program will also provide enhanced monitoring, surveillance, access control, intrusion-detection and response capabilities at certain locations.
