The U.S. Navy has awarded IAP Worldwide Services Inc. a contract to provide air traffic management and air traffic control and landing systems (ATCALS) maintenance services at air bases and stations in Southwest Asia. The performance-based contract carries a value of $63 million for its first year and a cumulative value of $388 million if four one-year option periods are exercised. The contract was awarded competitively by the U.S. Navy Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center in Charleston, S.C.

Under the contract, IAP will support air traffic control operations, airfield management, air-to-ground communications, and aviation weather systems at multiple locations in the U.S. Central Command.

IAP has built a team of key providers with Midwest Air Traffic Control Service Inc. providing the air traffic management functions and with Lockheed Martin Information Systems providing the ATCALS equipment maintenance functions.

IAP played a leading role in developing Afghanistan's air traffic control system. The company installed the Kabul area control center that provides modernized flight services within the Kabul flight information region and today provides aviation services across a wider region in Southwest Asia.

Depending on the scope of additional work, two additional team members, AIR Inc. and Scientific Research Corporation, may be called upon to perform micro-earth resources technology satellite programming and meteorology.
