Federal Aviation Administration Moves Information Safely with Telos Automated Messaging; Telos to Deliver Secure Automated Message Handling to 38 FAA Sites.

ASHBURN, Va. -- The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will soon possess an improved capability to better secure the large amounts of messaging information the agency handles on a daily basis. Under FAA's recent award of $1.3 million worth of task orders, Telos(R) Corporation will provide its Automated Message Handling System (AMHS) to 38 FAA sites, allowing the secure handling of both classified and sensitive but unclassified messages. Telos' AMHS solution will securely relay the immediate delivery of incoming messages to the right desktop and create an efficient archive of all arriving traffic for future reference.

Responsible for the safety of United States civilian aviation, the FAA's mission is to provide the most efficient aerospace system in the world. Telos will implement its AMHS solution to be fully operational across FAA Air Route Traffic Control Centers, FAA Combined Center/Radar Approach Control Centers, FAA Regional Offices and select FAA Emergency Operations Facilities that require secure messaging capabilities.

Telos previously implemented an automated digital network message processing system across these FAA sites. Under this contract, Telos is granted system engineering support and solution rollout for upgrading to the handling of Defense Message System (DMS) messages. Telos is charged with the development of the System Design Architecture Plan and the Implementation Plan for the FAA Washington Operations Center Complex (WOCC) and 36 remote FAA sites, as well as the performance of site surveys at the WOCC and representative remote sites. Based on the results of the site surveys, Telos will develop the detailed equipment architecture design for all of the remote sites for access to the AMHS and DMS servers.

"Our work with our nation's defense and civilian agencies demonstrates Telos' commitment to enhancing the overall security posture of the federal government," said Frank Whitehead, director of secure messaging, Telos Corporation. "We are pleased that through our current efforts with the FAA, we earned its confidence in our solutions, leading the FAA to decide not only to continue its work with us, but to also implement an upgrade to its current messaging system."

The leading provider of government-validated, secure enterprise solutions to federal and defense agencies, Telos' AMHS is currently used at several major U.S. Air Force commands.
