Serving U.S. Navy in Guam as Key Technology
Integrator for Next-Gen Network Solutions
Booz Allen Hamilton (NYSE: BAH) today announced that it was
awarded a two-year, $10 million contract from the U.S. Navy to
design, implement, test, and operate a private 5G cellular network
and asset tracking solution in Guam.
This contract win marks Booz Allen’s first 5G full-scale
implementation in the Indo-Pacific region and will enable the Navy
and the Department of Defense (DOD) to maximize mission success in
the region by providing the technology that improves communication,
logistics, maintenance, and secure operations. The development of
this 5G network will further enable the United States, its
partners, and allies to compete responsibly and defend our interest
in the region to build a common vision for the future.
“This project win further solidifies our position as a key 5G
innovator and integrator,” said Chris Christou, senior vice
president at Booz Allen and leader of the firm’s 5G, cloud, and
edge portfolio. “Booz Allen’s experience delivering 5G solutions to
the Navy uniquely positions the firm to bring new, innovative
solutions to the complex challenges facing the Indo-Pacific region.
Geographically dispersed landscapes like the Indo-Pacific require
next-generation network solutions capable of achieving all domain
command and control. We are confident in our solutions’ ability to
overcome the obstacles that distributed, edge-like environments
like Guam present.”
Designed to service the Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard &
Intermediate Maintenance Facility (PHNSY & IMF) Detachment
Naval Base Guam (NBG), the private 5G network will support mobile
and fixed wireless access, with an architecture capable of
extending to future use cases. Booz Allen will lead this contract
as the prime technology innovator and integrator, working alongside
partners across the 5G, telecom, IoT, and smart warehousing
industries.
The technical approach for this project will integrate lessons
learned from each of the team’s ongoing DOD 5G projects to ensure
maximum efficiency as well as apply zero trust design principles to
secure NBG’s 5G infrastructure. For example, Booz Allen will
leverage robust RFID asset tagging on equipment and inventory to
better enhance and modernize Navy logistics capabilities.
The Indo-Pacific region is on the frontline of the biggest pivot
of defense priorities in two decades—with focus in the region on
synchronous intelligence gathering; integration of the nation’s key
partners and allies in the region; and coordinated command and
control to ensure decision advantage. With more than 400 employees
positioned in the Indo-Pacific region (including Guam, Japan and
Korea), Booz Allen has been investing in regional resources for
decades, hiring and cultivating top tier talent and technology
solutions in AI, systems delivery, cyber, and now 5G, to meet the
rising technical escalation of adversaries in the region.
“Booz Allen is excited to be chosen as a strategic partner and
solution provider to help design, implement, test, and operate a
private 5G network at the Naval Base Guam. The deployment of secure
5G capabilities in Guam is critical to national security and aligns
with the Navy’s 5G strategy,” said Jandria Alexander, vice
president at Booz Allen and business leader for cybersecurity and
cross-market technology innovation. “Through the successful
implementation of this effort, Guam Naval Base will be establishing
a strong foundation that accelerates transformation efforts in
telecommunications, asset tracking, and future initiatives and use
cases.”
