Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) was awarded a prime contract by the U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command (USASMDC) to provide modeling, simulation, analysis and integration support to warfighters. The multiple award, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ)  contract has a three year base period of performance, two two-year options and a total ceiling value of more than $343 million for SAIC.

USASMDC conducts space and missile defense operations and provides planning, integration, control and coordination of Army forces and capabilities in support of U.S. Strategic Command missions.  Under the contract, SAIC will provide the Army and other services advanced capabilities and defense technologies as required for modeling, simulation and analysis, and integration of space and missile defense issues.  SAIC will also help design and build technologies as needed to help the Army combat existing and future space and missile defense challenges.  Under the contract, SAIC is one of two companies eligible to compete for future task orders.

"This contract will enable the SAIC team to develop and deliver advance solutions to support our warfighters," said John Fratamico, SAIC senior vice president and business unit general manager.
