SAIC wins $878 million GSA contract to provide cybersecurity, digital engineering and more for warfighters

Science Applications International Corp. won an $878 million task order from the General Services Administration to advance technology for Multi-Domain Command and Control, the company announced.

MDC2 includes cybersecurity, digital engineering, model-based systems engineering, integrated training, research and development, prototyping, and IT modernization, according to the announcement.

SAIC will develop and deploy capabilities that provide warfighters with access to critical information and data at the speed and scale required to gain and maintain decision advantage, according to SAIC. The new solutions will ultimately integrate all-domain (land, sea, air, space, cyber, and electromagnetic spectrum) data to enhance situational awareness.

The goals of the project include:

• Process, exploit, disseminate, and act on information against emerging and evolving threats
• Eliminate or minimize technological obsolescence, and
• Reduce total lifecycle costs associated with JADC2 systems

The work is designed to keep pace with warfighter needs, said Michael LaRouche, executive vice president and general manager of SAIC’s National Security Group. “For instance, SAIC’s investments in virtual environments and technologies will help warfighters with a space test and training environment – live or simulated – that truly integrates how leaders command space and cyber systems to deliver global combat effects.”
