Australia looks towards space with force restructure, investment and training
Australia is looking to improve its presence in space with a focus on communications and creating a dedicated segment of its defence forces committed to the domain.
The US Army has awarded a task order to CACI International to continue its support for the fabrication, integration, and fielding facility (FIFF) requirements of the army’s Intelligence and Information Warfare Directorate (I2WD), the company announced on 12 November.
The multi-million dollar, multi-year task order was awarded under the Rapid Response-Third Generation contract vehicle.
I2WD is the army's centre for research and development of advanced cyber operations, electronic warfare, signals intelligence technologies, radar, and intelligence analysis, exploitation, and dissemination capabilities.
John Mengucci, chief operating officer and president, US Operations, CACI, said: ‘CACI offers rapid development and prototyping solutions for quickly satisfying the US Army's urgent operational requirements for information superiority.’
Ken Asbury, president and chief executive officer, CACI, added: ‘CACI will leverage our deep understanding of mission requirements to help the US Army keep soldiers on the front lines informed, connected, and mission capable.’
