FALLS CHURCH, VA -- Computer Sciences Corporation (NYSE: CSC) has been awarded a task order from the U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command (AMCOM) to support simulation and development of missile and aviation systems at Redstone Arsenal, Ala. The task order has a ceiling value of $145.8 million if all options are exercised over a five-year period. CSC will provide a broad range of simulations, modeling and associated engineering support services for both missile and aviation systems. Work will involve live, virtual and constructive simulations for both real-time and non real-time applications, including virtual prototyping and highly immersive, virtual battlefield environments. The task order also calls for vulnerability and lethality analyses of aviation systems and associated hardware. "We are pleased to continue our 26-year history of helping the U.S. Army improve readiness," said Thomas G. Robinson, president of CSC's Defense Group. "We look forward to supporting all major functional areas of the AMCOM Support Services program." CSC will perform the work called for in the agreement at Redstone and support the effort from company offices in Huntsville, Ala. Members of the CSC team include Simulation Technology, Inc., Quality Research, Inc., and CG2, Inc. The Systems Simulation and Development Directorate is a major element of the AMCOM Research, Development and Engineering Center (RDEC) and is responsible for developing, utilizing and maintaining high fidelity simulations to support the U.S. Army's acquisition, requirements, training and related activities. Simulation results are used during the acquisition and readiness life-cycle for development of system doctrine and tactics. For more information visit www.csc.com
