CACI to continue NAWCAD support
The US Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) has awarded a $63.5 million bridge contract to CACI International to continue its support for NAWCAD’s Special Communications Mission Solutions (SCMS) division, the company announced on 21 September.
Under the 20-month contract, CACI will support SCMS quick-reaction capabilities in the subset of command, control, computers, communications, intelligence (C4I) electronic systems and interoperability. The company will continue to be involved in design, prototyping, fabrication, installation, certification, testing, and maintenance of the capabilities.
The engineering, research and development, evaluation and testing of all the US Navy and Marine Corps air vehicle systems and trainers is supported by NAWCAD SCMS. Its products and services include fixed, transportable and mobile systems for platforms such as shipboard, aircraft/airborne and weapon systems, to be placed on small crafts, boats, shelters, or vehicles.
John Mengucci, chief operating officer and president of US operations, CACI, said: ‘By rapidly producing prototypes of critical electronics and equipment, CACI continues to assist the NAWCAD in enhancing the accuracy of their development and zeroing in on the functionality required to support their mission.’
Ken Asbury, president and chief executive officer, CACI, said: ‘This work for the NAWCAD continues CACI’s legacy of support in developing new technology to quickly and securely deliver vital information that safeguards our troops and gives them a decisive edge. We’re proud to further strengthen our position as a prime provider of communications support to the Department of Defense.’
