Bringing critical information to the point of maintenance
Telos has developed a secure wireless flightline maintenance solution that combines wireless infrastructure, a thin-client operating environment, and wireless hand-held devices to give Air Force maintenance personnel access to on-line technical manuals and other network resources while working on aircraft. The solution saves repair time, minimizes aircraft ground time, and increases operational readiness. Telos is designing and installing these wireless networks at 86 Air Force locations in the U.S. and overseas as well as 88 Air National Guard locations.

Assuring the integrity of IT systems for the nation’s record-keeper
The need for IT security is particularly acute at the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) due to its unique role as the records-keeper for the federal government. NARA has selected Xacta IA Manager to meet NIST’s stringent protocols for information assurance, joining dozens of other defense and civilian federal agencies that have entrusted their requirements for IT security management and security process automation to Telos’ Xacta solutions and services.

Integrating mesh wireless networks, our Comms on the Move (COTM) offering provides real-time support for a full range of IP applications including data, voice over wireless IP, two-way video surveillance, mesh wireless radar and ground-based sensor monitoring and response, coordination tools and force tracking logistics capabilities.

Delivering secure enterprise messaging for the Defense Department
Telos' Automated Message Handling System (AMHS), the next generation of the Defense Messaging System (DMS), is deployed by DISA and by all branches of the military to securely route messages to arrive immediately at the correct destination.  The Air Force estimates that the move to AMHS has saved the service $80 million a year, and Army officials say they have benefitted from centralized account management, help desk, and other features.
