Lockheed Martin Management & Data Systems (M&DS) has been awarded an $8.8 million contract to be the Systems Integrator for the Pennsylvania State Police Criminal Investigative and Traffic Safety Incident Information Management System or IIMS. Lockheed Martin M&DS will coordinate a wide-ranging project that will revolutionize the State's Police use of technology to fight crime.

"The goal of this extensive undertaking is to give troopers the most up-to-date technology tools so they can provide the most effective and efficient service to the citizens of the Commonwealth.

Evanko.

The IIMS project will be implemented in two major phases, the first is the detailed design work and component selection included in this initial contract.
