U.S. Army Taps Black Box for Ukrainian IT Security Initiative

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania-based Black Box Corporation, a digital solutions provider, will continue to provide supplies and services to the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative, under a $10.4 million award from the U.S. Army. Under the new tasking, Black Box will expand the Ukraine Ministry of Defense’s enterprise information technology (IT) architecture to additional sites within Ukraine. Over the next 12 months, the company will provide IT supplies and services to both expand the enterprise system and enable command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C4ISR) capabilities to more users at military installations throughout the country. Black Box’s C4ISR solutions will deliver new network asset management, updated software applications, and documented configuration management capabilities, according to the company. "We are very pleased that the US Army has selected us for this effort and honored to be a part of the USAIT program and its continuing development" said Jeff Murray, vice president of Government Solutions, Black Box. "This project will add resiliency to capabilities already being designed and built by Black Box and expand the capability more broadly within Ukraine."
