The AFEI Government Awards program recognizes the achievements of both government and industry project teams that exemplify excellence in integrated enterprises and are models of the best applications of technology and leadership to improve enterprise performance.

"The entire team, including the Air Force, DISA, Lockheed Martin and our industry partners, is extremely honored to be recognized for our efforts on GCSS-AF and our work to transform how the Air Force collects, synthesizes and presents logistics information," said Randy Andrews, GCSS-AF program manager at Lockheed Martin Integrated Systems & Solutions (IS&S).

"The foundation of GCSS-AF is a robust enterprise architecture and integrated IT technologies that enhance operational effectiveness, providing an invaluable advantage to the United States Air Force," said John Slota, director of IS&S's Operational Support Systems -- Air Force. "Our team strives to deliver the best systems and technologies, and receiving awards such as this validates our efforts."
