Israel sets up new department to boost development of AI and autonomy
Israel will continue to develop autonomy for its weapons and platforms as it brings together defence personnel, academia and industry.
CGI Federal, DRS Laurel win CANES contracts
CGI Federal and DRS Laurel Technologies have won separate contracts for Consolidated Afloat Networks and Enterprise Services (CANES) production units, the US Department of Defense announced on 8 January.
The indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contracts have an eight-year ordering period up to the amount of the contract. They are in addition to five CANES production contracts awarded on 20 August 2014, and they have a cumulative value of around $2.53 billion.
CANES serves as the bridge to the future of navy afloat networks, consolidating existing legacy and standalone networks and providing the necessary infrastructure for applications, systems and services to operate in the tactical domain. CANES delivers its capabilities within a single complete system, establishing the necessary infrastructure that will enable timely and interoperable information exchange among tactical, support and non-tactical or administrative users, applications and information technology platforms.
Work is expected to be completed by August 2022. No funds will be obligated at the time of award. Funds will be obligated as individual delivery orders are issued.
