HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010!

A special message from Miranda Bouldin

The New Year is here, and we are looking forward to new opportunities and an even better 2010!

LogiCore accomplished two significant achievements that promise to have a positive impact in 2010 and beyond:
  • In May, the U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command (AMCOM) Expedited Professional and Engineering Support Services (EXPRESS) awarded LogiCore a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) in the Logistics domain. The AMCOM EXPRESS Program allows Team Redstone to procure needed services quickly.
  • In November, we received a subcontract to provide engineering and technical support for command, control, communications, computers and intelligence (C4I) to the US Army Electronic Proving Ground (EPG). We will be supporting prime contractor ManTech International Corporation under the 5-year, $286 million award.
These successes provide us more opportunities to provide second-to-none services in support of the Warfighter and other Government agencies. We are also planning to be very involved in the community, from sponsoring and participating in industry conferences and other activities, to supporting local institutions and charities.

Our successes are possible through our customers who give LogiCore the honor and privilege of working with them, and the hard work and dedication of our employees, who ensure our customers receive superlative services. I never take you for granted, and appreciate all you do.

Have a safe and happy New Year!

The holiday season is upon us and, like many, I’m very busy shopping for gifts and making arrangements for the holidays. I’m looking forward to spending time with my family and friends, and hope you are also enjoying the season.

Please take a moment with me to remember LogiCore employees and all service members who are in Iraq and stationed elsewhere around the world, as they are away from their loved ones defending democracy and the United States’ national interests. At LogiCore, we are very proud of our service men and women, and appreciate the opportunity to provide support to them to help ensure their missions are successful.

It’s been a very eventful and rewarding year for LogiCore, and I want to thank everyone for all their hard work and dedication in making this year successful. I’d also like to express a special welcome to those who are joining LogiCore in support of the US Army Electronic Proving Ground (EPG). Thank you for joining our team!

We also appreciate our customers very much, and thank them for the privilege of working with them in support of the Warfighter.

Have a safe and very Merry Christmas!

LogiCore Supports Redstone's MOPP Shop

Located at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama, the Maintenance Operations Procedures and Prototype (MOPP) Facility, also known as the MOPP Shop, concentrates on modifying, updating, and resetting missile systems, but also develops actionable solutions in other critical areas. For example, the Redstone Arsenal MOPP Facility was instrumental in adapting the Army Avenger air defense system’s M3P .50 caliber machine gun for use on the OH-58D Kiowa Warrior helicopters in Iraq and Afghanistan. This substitution was needed because the previous OH-58D machine gun was very unreliable and inadequate, unsuitable for the Kiowa helicopters’ scouting missions.

The MOPP Facility makes it possible for soldiers to troubleshoot and repair missile components in the field, which greatly increases missile availability and reduces cost. LogiCore employees, along with other government and contractors, evaluate and repair the Automated Test Equipment (ATE) as part of the U.S. Army Test Program Set (TPS) used in the field to troubleshoot and repair missile components. The TPS consists of the particular software, hardware, and documentation that are used with computer controlled test equipment to detect and isolate failures within a unit under test.

Typically located in shelter vans, ATE such as Integrated Family of Test Equipment (IFTE) are shipped to Redstone Arsenal from around the world, and our employees conduct numerous tests of the automated test equipment, which is used in the maintenance and support of Army materiel and for conducting maintenance and repair. The shelters are then shipped back to the gaining unit and our employees perform on-site logistics and maintenance support at the unit location to ensure 100 percent operational availability.

“LogiCore plays an important role in supporting the Warfighter and we are thankful for the opportunity to demonstrate the full extent of our knowledge and expertise in supporting the MOPP Facility, as well as our in-depth understanding of the customer needs and how to resolve them,” said Miguel Delgadillo, an Analyst for LogiCore.

LogiCore personnel will support EPG in Fort Huachuca, AZ; Yuma Proving Ground, AZ; Forts Hood and Bliss, TX; Fort Lewis, WA; Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD; and White Sands Missile Range, NM. “This new award is because we possess significant depth and breadth and experience supporting integration, interoperability, and C4I systems as we have teamed with ManTech on previous awards,” said Lee Eady, Director of Business Development. “We are a strategic partner of ManTech and look forward to continuing to be a value-added partner.”

They are a test center of the U.S. Army Developmental Test Command, Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD, which in turn is part of the U.S. Army Test and Evaluation Command, headquartered in Alexandria, VA.

LogiCore Salutes America's Veterans

On the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month in 1918, an armistice was signed which ended the fighting in World War I. Although the official end of the war occurred seven months later with the Treaty of Versailles, what became known as Veterans Day was observed November 11 in honor of the armistice signing. Veterans Day honors American veterans of all wars.

LogiCore appreciates America’s veterans and supports the U.S. Armed Forces, service members and their families around the globe.

“On Veterans Day, we honor America’s veterans and express our thanks for their patriotism and willingness to serve and sacrifice for our country,” said Lee Eady, director of Business Development and a retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel. “The lessons our Veterans teach us are that we must never take our freedom for granted, and must diligently protect it without compromise. I am particularly proud to work with LogiCore as it fulfills its mission of providing unmatched services to our Veterans and future Veterans.”

Maintaining the Air Force Tactical Automated Security System (TASS)

In order to protect critical areas such as fixed site air bases, semi-permanent Forward Operating Bases (FOBs), and mobile tactical deployments, the U.S. Air Force (USAF) needs to be able to sense intruders and to assess situations. To provide this force protection capability, USAF currently employs a base personnel intrusion detection and surveillance system called the Tactical Automated Security System (TASS) at its CONUS and overseas bases.

When the U.S. Army developed its Counter-Rocket, Artillery and Mortar (C-RAM) Program to counter insurgent threats in Iraq, it leveraged the USAF TASS capabilities. The C-RAM PMO consulted with the USAF Program Manager on TASS functionality, and refined its capability as part of C-RAM’s System of Systems (SoS) to provide a core Integrated Base Defense System of Systems (IBDSoS) capability at selected FOBs in Iraq.

LogiCore Corporation, a systems engineering and technical assistance (SETA) contractor, provides TASS Contractor Logistics Support (CLS) to C-RAM’s PMO Logistics Management Division (LMD). For example, Mr. Will Palfrey, a retired USAF Logistics Plans and Programs Officer, is the TASS Product Manager. He currently manages several line items of equipment worth hundreds of millions of dollars. He is responsible for supervising the TASS supply chain, providing vital theater wartime equipment that protects Soldiers in wartime.

LogiCore experts provide system reliability and maintainability solutions in managing the entire supply chain and maintain end-to-end visibility including obsolescence management. LogiCore has provided effective and efficient supply chain management and CLS for the last three years resulting in providing the Warfighter with high-performing combat capabilities on time and within contracted cost.

“Our goal is to optimize material requirements, spares, inventory, on-demand parts, and business processes and pursue continuous process improvements to increase Warfighter readiness,” said Palfrey. The actions are increasing readiness for the C-RAM PMO as the SoS has achieved greater than 95 percent operational readiness in a wartime environment that has provided almost 2,000 localized warnings of incoming attacks.
