Accenture Federal Services (AFS) has been awarded a position on a potential 10-year, $950 million contract vehicle to help the U.S Air Force build and operate the Advanced Battle Management System, the company announced Monday.
“We look forward to supporting the USAF as they develop and deploy innovative technologies that connect data across all domains to better inform decision making,†said Susan Lawrence, managing director and deputy director of AFS' defense and intelligence portfolio.Â
