DALLAS, July 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Jacobs (NYSE:J) was selected by the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center's Strategic Warning & Surveillance Systems Division for Operations, Maintenance and Sustainment (OM&S) of critical mission systems for the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) Cheyenne Mountain Complex (NCMC).
