“We are very pleased to be selected as the base operations provider for the Navy’s Deveselu location,” said Ken Hunzeker, president of the Mission Systems division of Exelis. “We look forward to providing support to this critical foothold and to the Navy’s operations in central Europe and elsewhere.”

This was a new procurement and did not replace an existing contract. Exelis is a global leader in base operations, logistics and facility services at other U.S. government locations in the U.S. and overseas.
