Under the terms of the FORGE contract, MacB will perform software development tasks throughout the lifecycle pertaining to computer security technologies necessary to support law enforcement (LE) and counter-intelligence (CI) investigations and operations.

"The 90th IOS is on the front lines of the cybersecurity threat that faces the Air Force's critical communications networks," said William "Bull" Pratt, Senior Vice President of MacB's Information Dominance Division. "As we work closely with the members of the 90th on the FORGE and Guardian contracts, we take pride in the fact that MacB will play an instrumental role in ensuring the Air Force is protected from cyber attacks."
According to the USAF, the 90th IOS is charged with developing capabilities to effectively identify, neutralize or exploit threats to Air Force assets (people, weapons systems, and the USAF network) worldwide, whether foreign governments, international terrorist or unaffiliated actors.
