OSS Receives Contract Extension from US Navy
For AFAs for P-8A aircraft
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on December 26, 2022 at 2:00 pmOne Stop Systems, Inc. (OSS) has received a sole source, 5- year contract extension to continue providing ruggedized transportable flash storage arrays and related supplies to a prime contractor for the US Navy.
The extension, which becomes effective January 1, 2023, is a follow on to the current $36 million, 5-year sole-source supplier agreement. This agreement involves equipping the Navy’s P-8A reconnaissance aircraft and ground base stations with high-capacity flash storage systems, spare flash storage canisters and support services.
“This leading prime military contractor’s continued commitment is due to our proven capabilities in providing high-performance flash storage solutions for challenging environments,” stated CEO David Raun. “The extended exclusive supplier agreement highlights our technology leadership and long history of delivering rugged storage solutions for transportable applications in a small, lightweight and portable form factor, particularly those involving secure high-speed data recording.“
Designed and manufactured by OSS, these full mil-spec storage systems feature hot-swappable canisters of high-capacity NVMe flash storage that may be removed and securely transported to ground stations upon the aircraft’s return to base. Controlled by the company’s exclusive Ion Accelerator storage software, these AFAs store high volumes of real-time data collected from the aircraft’s advanced airborne sensors comprised of multifunction radar and associated tracking systems.
“We anticipate that this extended relationship will lead to new opportunities with this marquee customer,” added Raun, “especially given that our storage technology has become the de-facto standard for this US Navy surveillance aircraft.“
