MCLEAN, Va., May 11, 2004. Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) announced today it has been awarded a contract to support the North Atlantic Treaty Organizations' (NATO) Headquarters' Supreme Allied Commander Transformation (SACT) Experimentation Campaign.
The SAIC/EADS North America team will be providing engineering and technical services in the areas of concept definition, research, analysis, and assessment for alternative transformation resolution.
This firm-fixed-price, level-of-effort contract will be performed over one base year valued at $2.9 million with the opportunity to renew two additional one-year options which, if exercised, would bring the potential cumulative value of the contract to $10.3 million.
Working as an integrated part of the Joint Experimentation, Exercise and Assessment (JEEA) Team at NATO Headquarters' SACT, SAIC team analysts will assist with developing recommendations based on joint warfighting experimentation and improving interoperability to reduce redundancy, synchronize technology fielding, develop joint strategic, operational, and if required, tactical concepts.
Other support functions will include prioritizing the most promising joint capabilities for further experimentation and prioritizing joint requirements. This will include developing support for experiment structure, organization, control mechanisms, training, support and technical planning. Additionally, SAIC team analysts will support the overall effort in developing and monitoring various plans for data collection, management and analysis.
"SAIC, through its support of doctrine development, experimentation and acquisition improvement looks forward to assisting NATO in its future operations," said George Singley, president of SAIC's Transformation, Test, Training and Logistics Group. "NATO's transformation efforts will involve significant changes on many levels, resulting in a stronger, more robust Alliance, capable of dealing effectively with the challenges of the 21st Century."
Joining SAIC as a team member is EADS North America, the U.S. holding company of EADS, the world's second largest defense and aerospace company. Based in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, EADS had revenues of 30.1 billion Euros in 2003, and a global workforce of more than 100,000. The EADS Group includes the aircraft manufacturer AIRBUS, the world's largest helicopter supplier, Eurocopter and the joint venture MBDA, the second largest missile producer in the global market.
SAIC is the largest employee-owned research and engineering company in the United States, providing information technology, systems integration and eSolutions to commercial and government customers. SAIC engineers and scientists work to solve complex technical problems in national and homeland security, energy, the environment, space, telecommunications, health care, and logistics. With annual revenues of $6.7 billion, SAIC and its subsidiaries, including Telcordia Technologies, have more than 43,000 employees at offices in more than 150 cities worldwide.
