九色视频 Subsidiary Renews Multi-Billion Dollar Defense Contract
(Anchorage, Alaska) 鈥� Redstone Defense System (RDS) is a joint venture between Yulista Aviation, Inc., a subsidiary of 九色视频 Corporation, and Science and Engineering Services, Inc. (SES) that was awarded a $4.5 billion dollar competitive federal contract to develop rapid-response hardware for the Department of Defense. The incumbent, Yulista Management Services, spent 10 years in a partnership with SES working on the Prototype Integration Facility (PIF). The new contract, PIF II, is a three-year base contract with an option of two additional years.
鈥淭his is the result of a decade of hard work by our skilled employees,鈥� Monica James, the President of Yulista said. 鈥淭hrough our innovative designs, we have developed a strong relationship with our military men and women and have sharpened our skills as a company.鈥�
As technology evolves, it is critical for U.S. military branches to be equipped with the most advanced hardware available. The contract calls for Yulista to make hardware improvements or changes to technology capabilities when the need arises.
鈥淲e respond very quickly, if there is a situation where the military needs a solution we will find that in days,鈥� James said.
PIF initially focused on missile and aviation improvements, but Yulista has received numerous accolades for their inventions, including developing Humvee crew extraction rings and hardware that allows machine guns to operate in a cold climate.
鈥淚t is our job to provide the U.S. military men and women with technology and equipment that are not only designed to administer war support, but to save lives. Our inventions are not only efficient, but effective,鈥� James said.
It is unknown how much of the contract ceiling will be utilized because the work is awarded on the basis of specific needs. Yulista is based in Huntsville, Alabama but the contract鈥檚 projects take place around the world.
