FAA Awards NICE an IDIQ Seven-Year Contract
NICE Inform(TM) and other NICE solutions to enhance air traffic recording capability at up to 850 FAA and DoD sites
Rutherford NJ, May 3, 2007, NICE Systems Ltd. (NASDAQ: NICE), the global provider of advanced solutions that enable organizations to extract Insight from Interactions(TM) to drive performance, today announced that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has awarded NICE with a seven-year, IDIQ (Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity) contract with a potential value up to $69 million. NICE has already received an initial order of $2.7 million under this award. NICE Inform and other NICE solutions have been selected to enhance air traffic recording capability at up to 850 FAA and Department of Defense (DOD) sites. NICE, the prime contractor, will be partnering with Raytheon Company (NYSE:RTN), which will be deploying the NICE solutions and providing training to FAA personnel.
The FAA awarded the contract to NICE under the FAA`s VRRP (Voice Recorder Replacement Program) which is part of a larger initiative to modernize the nation`s air traffic control (ATC) system to meet future air traffic safety, capacity, and efficiency needs for more than one billion passengers by 2015. The FAA will be replacing its existing digital voice recording systems with the NICE Inform(TM) multimedia incident information management solution which will enable rapid and thorough review of incidents to enhance air traffic safety.
NICE Inform will provide the FAA with a centralized repository, management and analysis solution for its air traffic control incident data, and also facilitate rapid and complete reconstruction of incidents and sharing of critical incident data. For the first time, the FAA will also be able to compile and assemble various forms of multimedia incident information, such as voice recordings, photos, flight plans, etc., all in one place - for valuable insight and improved collaboration and efficiency.
"We are pleased to have been selected by the FAA for this extensive and important modernization initiative aimed at ensuring the safety of US airspace, affirming our vision and leadership in the security market," said Haim Shani, Chief Executive Officer of NICE. "NICE Inform, which was recently introduced is a revolutionary information management solution, and ensures safety and security in ways never before possible. We are seeing a growing need for this technology and see it as a growth engine for NICE moving forward."
