Concurrent Technologies Corporation Opens New Office at Picatinny Arsenal, New Jersey

JOHNSTOWN, Pa., Sept. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Concurrent Technologies Corporation (CTC) is pleased to announce the opening of a new office at Picatinny Arsenal, New Jersey, that will enhance the company's growing efforts in support of the U.S. Army and the DoD's mission.  The new office location directly supports CTC's five-year contract worth up to $350 million to support the Army Armament, Research, Development, and Engineering Center's (ARDEC's) Rapid Prototyping and Technology Initiative Program.  Headquartered at Picatinny Arsenal, the ARDEC is the Army's principal researcher, developer, and sustainer of current and future armament and munitions systems.  Tasking from Picatinny will also leverage other contract vehicles including CTC's National Defense Center for Energy and Environment (NDCEE) contract, worth up to $425 million.

CTC's long-standing support to Picatinny Arsenal stakeholders spans almost two decades, dating back to 1991.  Picatinny Arsenal is critical to the Department of Defense (DoD) for research, development, test and evaluation acquisition, and program management for conventional munitions and associated efforts involving the ammunition industrial base, demilitarization of stockpiles, and development of new, non-standard ammunition sources.

"CTC has been privileged to provide scientific and engineering expertise to Picatinny Arsenal from our research laboratories and offices throughout the country and we look forward to partnering with our clients on future tasking from this new office," said Edward J. Sheehan, Jr., CTC's President & Chief Executive Officer.  "One of CTC's primary objectives is to serve our country's warfighters, and Picatinny's primary objective is to provide the ammunition required for our service men and women to do their jobs.  We are pleased to establish this new location which we expect will enhance our ability to continue to support the warfighter."

CTC conducted an Open House at its new location on September 15, 2010.  "Guests included the Picatinny Garrison command, Program Executive Office (PEO) Ammunition leadership and program managers, as well as ARDEC leadership," said Michael J. Docherty, CTC's Senior Director, Ground & Armament Systems Programs.  "This new location allows CTC to support ARDEC, PEO Ammunition, and Picatinny Garrison command as they work to grow capabilities and strengthen the Army's organic technical core."

CTC's efforts at Picatinny are led overall by Executive Director Col Kim Leach, U.S. Army (Ret.), Mr. Travis Boyer, Picatinny Program Manager for CTC, and Col Rick Pennycuick, U.S. Army (Ret.), Program Director.
