据C4ISRNET网2019年12月5日报道,在12月5日的Facebook上，ManTech和通用动力公司的信息系统与任务系统分公司联合竞标近10亿美元的美国防部最大的“网络训练、战备、集成、交付和企业技术”（TRIDENT）合同，将用于联合部队作战。雷神、洛马、格努曼公司也表示将参与竞标。该合同主要内容是建立“持续网络训练环境” (PCTE)在线客户端，美军网络司令部驻世界各地的网络任务部队人员均可登录参加训练。美国防部领导将PCTE视为网络司令部最关键的需求之一，目前美军还没有综合集成或功能强大的网络培训环境。

ManTech and General Dynamics are joining forces to compete for the Pentagon’s top cyber training contract, a deal that is thought to be worth nearly $1 billion.

In a Dec. 5 Facebook post, ManTech announced the partnership with General Dynamics Information Systems and General Dynamics Mission Systems for the Cyber Training, Readiness, Integration, Delivery and Enterprise Technology (TRIDENT) contract.

Raytheon, Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman have previously said they will also compete for the award.

The Army released information regarding requirements for a critical cyber training contract that can be used by the joint force.

The primary component of the contract is the Persistent Cyber Training Environment (PCTE), an online client in which members of U.S. Cyber Command’s cyber mission force can log on from anywhere in the world for training and to rehearse missions. Pentagon leaders view PCTE as one of the more critical needs for Cyber Command. Currently, no integrated or robust cyber training environment exists.

ManTech and General Dymanics will “will develop a Persistent Cyber Training Environment (PCTE) platform that empowers holistic, enterprise-wide U.S. cyber training capabilities for the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), delivering cyber threat-informed services, regional compute and data storage capabilities, and real-time #DevSecOps on a global scale,” the Facebook post stated.

An award for the contract is expected in late 2020.
