SAIC wins Air Force battle management contract

Science Applications International Corp. will partner with the U.S. Air Force on joint all domain command and control under a multiple-award $950 million advanced battle management system contract, the company announced.

“The Air Force is defining the battlespace of the future, and we are excited to partner on that mission,” said Michael LaRouche, executive vice president and general manager of SAIC’s National Security Group.

“SAIC will help enable warfighters to operate together and as part of a joint team – connecting sensors, decision makers, and weapons through a secure data network for rapid decision making and JADC2,” said Vinnie DiFronzo, SAIC senior vice president for Air Force and joint DOD commands.

SAIC will advance the Air Force’s ABMS program objectives and serve as a catalyst to the Department of Defense JADC2 vision. SAIC’s artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities will speed USAF and joint decision cycles across all warfighting domains and will enhance the USAF’s objective to connect any sensor to any shooter, according to SAIC officials.
