ARINC - Airport Systems Integration Services

June 7, 2010

Annapolis, Maryland—ARINC Engineering Services, LLC today announced its Interoperability Test Engineering group at Fort Huachuca, Arizona, has expanded its range of activities and taken additional office space in nearby Sierra Vista.

ARINC will formally open the new office on Wednesday, June 9, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony from 4:30 to 6:30 pm. The new location is at 500 East Fry Boulevard, Suite L-9, Sierra Vista, AZ 85635.

ARINC’s Advanced Systems Integration and Engineering Division has maintained an on-base presence at Fort Huachuca since 1992. Currently, ARINC is a subcontractor supporting the Defense Information Systems Agency’s (DISA) Joint Interoperability Test Command (JITC). ARINC’s performance on the JITC contract includes conducting interoperability certification testing and standards conformance testing for a broad range of military communications equipment.

In nearly two decades at Fort Huachuca, the ARINC unit has acquired substantial skillsets in testing communication systems, ranging from tactical radios to IT networks installed onboard various air, ground and maritime platforms.

“ARINC plans to leverage its value added capabilities by serving related communications initiatives within the U.S. Government, and related commercial activities,” stated Christopher “Jake” Warner, ARINC Senior Director, Space & Strategic Operations. “The new office space will enable ARINC to provide expanded capabilities without affecting the continued support of ongoing JITC programs.”

Fort Huachuca is the headquarters of the U.S. Army Intelligence Center, the U.S. Army Network Enterprise Technology Command (NETCOM)/9th Army Signal Command, and the Joint Interoperability Test Command (JITC). JITC provides a full range of agile and cost-effective test, evaluation, and certification services to support rapid acquisition and fielding of global net-centric warfighting capabilities.

ARINC Incorporated, a portfolio company of The Carlyle Group, provides communications, engineering and integration solutions for commercial, defense and government customers worldwide. Headquartered in Annapolis, Maryland with regional headquarters in London and Singapore, ARINC is ISO 9001:2008 certified.
