ARLINGTON, Va., May 26, 2004. CACI International Inc. announced today that it has been awarded a contract worth an estimated $88 million with the U.S. Navy Expeditionary Warfare, Ship Self Defense System Division at the Naval Surface Warfare Center in Port Hueneme, Calif.
The contract, awarded for one base year and four option years, calls for CACI personnel to provide systems engineering support for Navy ship self defense systems. The award expands CACI's systems engineering business and increases both the value and scope of the support CACI provides to the Navy.
Under the terms of the contract, CACI will support the Navy's Integrated Ship Defense (ISD) program at shore sites, land-based test facilities, shipyards, and aboard ships in port and at sea. The ISD program oversees the integration of shipboard sensors and weapon systems to form a comprehensive suite of combat systems that detect, identify, evaluate, and engage enemy forces.
CACI has supported the ISD program under other contracts for the past eight years, and is currently supporting ISD at Port Hueneme and San Diego, California; Virginia Beach and Wallops Island, Virginia; and the Washington Navy Yard in Washington, D.C. The company expects to transition to the new contract this month.
CACI was selected on the basis of its extensive experience in weapons, sensors, and combat systems engineering and integration. The company also expects to apply its legacy simulation technologies to enable the Navy to save money by simulating the performance of ISD systems before committing to development. In addition, CACI teams will provide system testing and user training for maximum effectiveness.
"CACI is helping the Navy achieve total interoperability of its suite of combat systems weapons and sensors," said Ken Johnson, CACI president of U.S. Operations. "Furthermore, CACI's testing and integration skills will assist our Navy client in developing and delivering improved weapons and combat system capabilities critical to missions around the world."
Dr. J.P. (Jack) London, CACI Chairman, President, and CEO, said, "Our contract award to support Navy ship self defense systems is another strong indicator of the growing recognition of CACI as a leading provider of systems engineering and integration for Navy programs. We all know that our Navy must be ready to protect our forces at home and abroad, and CACI is proud to support this effort with services and solutions focused on Navy needs."
