(NYSE: KBR) announced today it has been selected by the United Kingdom's Home Office to act as its Delivery Partner on a major transformation programme to enhance critical emergency services capability and improve public safety. The 1 billion pound ground breaking Emergency Services Mobile Communications Programme (ESMCP) will deliver a replacement communications and data service using 4G technology - the first time this emergency services capability will be fielded at scale on a commercial network anywhere in the world. Andrew Barrie, Head of Government Services for Kellogg Brown & Root Ltd said: "We are delighted to have been selected by the Home Office to manage the transition of this critical communications service. At the heart of this programme is public safety and we look forward to playing our part in the delivery of an enhanced, more flexible, and more affordable communications and data capability, fit for our emergency services in the 21st century." The new system, called the Emergency Service Network (ESN), will provide frontline responders with extensive communication and data coverage, high resilience and appropriate security, ensuring that Police, Fire & Rescue and Ambulance Services along with the other civil contingency authorities are able to protect the public and save lives, even under the most challenging circumstances. As a provider of support services to the Metropolitan Police, KBR fully understands the unique challenges faced by the emergency services to deliver a 24/7 response to the public 365 days a year and will ensure that it delivers maximum commercial benefit while maintaining operational resilience.
