U.K. GOVERNMENT INVESTS IN LELANTOS COMMAND, CONTROL AND COMMUNICATION PROGRAM
LONDON -- IT solutions specialist CDW announced an agreement with the United Kingdom Ministry of Defence (MoD) and NATO’s Allied Rapid Reaction Corps (ARRC) headquarters in Gloucester, U.K., to deliver a two-year Agile technical innovation contract for a Command, Control and Communication (C3) program named LELANTOS.
ARRC is NATO’s rapidly deployable headquarters that acts as a nerve center for operations and crisis response. CDW - the world’s largest IT technology enabler - and Viasat UK Ltd, a global leader in communication technologies, have partnered on the two-year program, which will enable a more survivable, maneuverable and deployable headquarters.
Program LELANTOS will involve regular technological innovation, as well as the wider digital transformation of HQ ARRC, and is part of a range of initiatives that demonstrate the U.K.’s continued commitment to the NATO alliance.
The program will exploit multiple streams of state-of-the-art and SME technology and will deliver enhancements to the battlefield both at home and deployed. Over the course of the program, decision-makers and technicians at the MoD, ARRC, CDW and Viasat will collaborate and develop integrated systems, making use of agile technical and commercial processes.
The program, originally referred to as ‘Agile C3 Experimentation’, was put out to open tender on the U.K. government’s procurement platform, the Crown Commercial Service. CDW and Viasat partnered to win the contract in a competitive tender.
