CLIFTON, N.J., May 11, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- ECSI (Electronic Control Security, Inc.) (OTCBB:EKCS) announced today that it has selected Lockheed Martin to support future work under its Integrated Base Defense Security System (IBDSS) program, a contract awarded to ECSI in August of 2003 by the United States Department of the Air Force to provide the next generation of electronic security systems to United States Air Force facilities worldwide.
The company selected Lockheed Martin, a large-scale systems integrator with a worldwide customer base, for its expertise in complex electronic security systems, installation, integration and support services. Lockheed Martin has provided highly integrated electronic security systems for many of the United States' most critical facilities, including the Pentagon, military installations, and other critical government and transportation infrastructure.
ECSI can now expand its sales and service capability to address specific large military installations within the Department of Defense security market. Lockheed Martin can offer support to ECSI where additional resources are needed to effectively complete sophisticated system integration projects that contain particularly aggressive timetables and specialized requirements.
"Under our existing IBDSS contract, we can now offer the Department of Defense the capability of large system integration and expert logistical support with no geographic or resource constraints," said Arthur Barchenko, ECSI CEO. "Working with Lockheed Martin will enable us to effectively address many large U.S. Air Force and military projects without adding a layer of cost."
IBDSS is an acquisition program for fixed and relocatable security systems that support the essential elements of defense for the United States. An indefinite delivery indefinite quantity (IDIQ) procurement contract managed by the United States Air Force Electronic Systems Center, IBDSS centralizes the purchase and installation of security systems equipment at government and non-government sites throughout the world. The program includes the design, engineering, procurement, installation, integration, test, sustainment, technology insertion, and disposal of the security equipment.
