BETHESDA, MD – November 6, 2007 – OPNET Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: OPNT), a leading provider of solutions for managing networks and applications, today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, OPNET Analysis, Inc., has been awarded two contracts from U.S. Government Agencies valued at $4.8M.
These contracts include a $3.5M award from the U.S. Navy’s Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center (SPAWARSYSCEN) in Charleston, SC, and a $1.3M award from the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA). The $3.5M award from SPAWARSYSCEN in Charleston, SC was a task order awarded under the $75M Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract received by OPNET Analysis, Inc. in August, 2007.
The SPAWARSYSCEN Charleston contract is for continued work as the prime software contractor in support of the SPAWARSYSCEN Charleston development and integration of their NETCOP tool for U.S. Central Command Air Force (USCENTAF) and U.S. Central Command (USCENTCOM) initiatives. NETCOP is currently deployed in several military regions, and it provides unified views and real-time situational awareness of operational networks. It is the government-off-the-shelf (GOTS) enhanced adaptation of the OPNET SP Netcop™ software.
The DISA contract is for continued work as the prime contractor on the U.S. Department of Defense’s Network Warfare Simulation (NETWARS) program through 2009. NETWARS is a software application for analyzing defense-related network communications.
OPNET’s CEO, Marc Cohen, stated “OPNET is very pleased to continue serving as the prime software development contractor for these important defense programs. The USCENTAF SP Netcop deployment provides unified views of CENTCOM’s operational network in real-time to rapidly diagnose and troubleshoot performance problems and network outages. NETWARS provides the capability to plan, analyze, and optimize joint communications networks before deployment, lowering risk and providing operational realism to the war fighter.”
