General Dynamics Mission Systems’s partner QGroup has been awarded a German military contract for network security.

Under the contract, General Dynamics Mission Systems and QGroup will deploy and maintain QTrust Server security systems for secure IT networks, according to a General Dynamics news release. The QTrust Server is based on General Dynamics Mission Systems’ PitBull trusted operating system.

“Our partnership with QGroup has seen many successes, most notably migrating PitBull to Red Hat Enterprise Linux,” said Nadia Short, vice president of the Cyber Systems division for General Dynamics Mission Systems. “Our team’s unique offering and insight will strengthen the Bundeswehr’s systems critical to their mission.”
