CACI to continue US Army NVESD support
CACI International will continue supporting the US Army's Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate (NVESD), under a task order announced by the company on 5 March.
Under the $43 million task order contract, CACI will continue providing engineering support, including modelling and simulation of sensor and imaging systems for the NVESD, also known as the Night Vision Lab at Fort Belvoir, Virginia.
NVESD conducts research and development of night vision and sensor technologies, including surveillance systems and infrared weapon sights. These technologies are aimed at improving the effectiveness of the army in limited visibility and night time conditions.
The contract will see CACI provide simulation and modelling services to help NVESD evaluate sensor system technology and concepts in order to determine their effectiveness in relevant scenarios. CACI will also help develop enhancements that increase the target acquisition, surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities of the armed forces.
The company has extensive experience in providing technical, management, and engineering solutions to the NVESD. These support solutions include mobile training facilities maintenance as well as live, virtual, and constructive simulation training, along with operating a systems integration laboratory for C4ISR systems.
