Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) announced today it was awarded a prime contract by the US Navy Program Executive Office (PEO) for C4I (Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence) to support the Command and Control Program Office (PMW 150) with tactical data link (TDL) engineering and technical support. The follow-on contract has a one year base period of performance, four one-year options and a total value of more than $42 million if all options are exercised.
PEO C4I acquires, fields and supports C4I systems across multiple Navy, Marine Corps, joint and coalition platforms. This includes managing acquisition programs and projects that cover all C4I disciplines: applications, networks, communications, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance systems. PMW 150's mission is to provide the US Navy and other customers with integrated C4I applications, capabilities and systems, and develop, procure, field, and provide life cycle support of tactical, maritime operational, defensive, and support command and control systems. Under the contract, SAIC will provide TDL systems engineering in support of the development, testing and certification of new capabilities. The company will also provide fielding management services in support of interoperability.
"We look forward to continuing to provide quality engineering and technical services to help rapidly field interoperable TDL capabilities to fulfill the evolving requirements of Naval warfighters," said Tom Baybrook, SAIC senior vice president and business unit general manager.
