RESTON, VA - SOS International Ltd. (SOSi) will support United States Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM) as part of a team awarded the USSTRATCOM Services and Mission Support II (USAMS II) contract. SOSi is a member of the ITT Corporation team.

The USAMS II contract will provide non-personal, advisory and assistance services in support of studies, system engineering and technical analysis. This end-to-end systems and mission support contract includes all of USSTRATCOM, its component commands, supporting and supported agencies, and the Air Force Weather Agency (AFWA). The support will consist of planning and analyzing engineering and engineering guidance; establishing system integration, information assurance, software design and development, and configuration management (CM); and testing and certifying USSTRATCOM/AFWA systems and procedures. USAMS II will also provide across-the-board technical expertise to ensure that new technology, system specifications, upgrades, enhancements, tests, certifications, and operational procedures are in accordance with requirements.

SOSi brings a wealth of operational expertise in foreign media analysis, cultural intelligence, and information operations to assist USSTRATCOM in shaping future engagements in the Command's core mission areas. The company is a uniquely qualified supplier of Information Operations/Strategic Communication (IO/SC) and Intelligence/Surveillance/Reconnaissance (ISR) support capabilities, bringing skill sets and past performance in areas that are not widely covered by other members of the ITT team.

“SOSi is already a well-known prime contractor supporting USSTRATCOM's Intelligence directorate,” said SOSi Chief Operations Officer Julian Setian. “USAMS II is an important opportunity to expand this support, especially in the IO/SC and ISR mission areas.”
