The US Navy's Naval Undersea Warfare Centre has awarded a software
support contract to IT services and outsourcing provider Computer
Sciences (CSC).
If all options on the contract are exercised, it could be worth
$30m (£21m) over an eight-year period.
The IT system, called the Navy Training Management and Planning
System (NTMPS), is used for training and education of Navy and
Marine Corps personnel.
CSC has provided services related to the NTMPS since 1986,
including system maintenance and operation. The contract involves
the transformation of NTMPS into a Web-based system.
