DAYTON, Ohio -- NCR has been awarded a $49 million contract by the U.S. Navy to expand the ATMs-at-Sea program to smaller Navy ships, down to the frigate level.

The award includes a $21 million fixed-price contract that will provide for the upgrade of current ATMs, as well as another $28 million in options for additional ATMs and services. NCR's Government Systems Group expects to complete the primary Navy contract by August 1999, performing the work at about 50 ports in the U.S. and around the world. The new program has already installed ATMs on 24 warships.

NCR's new contract builds on the prototype network established for the ATMs II contract on two Navy ships -- the USS Constellation and the USS Theodore Roosevelt. That network, implemented in 1997, put on-board ATMs in touch with banks back in sailors' hometowns via satellite, using the Navy's Challenge Athena satellite communications system to link the ATMs to the Armed Forces Financial Network.

The Navy and NCR launched the ATMs-at-Sea program a decade ago, using ATMs as a replacement for the Navy's on-board payroll system that paid sailors in cash.
