CACI International has been awarded a task order contract for support services to the US Army's Communications-Electronics Command (CECOM) Software Engineering Center (SEC).
The $86 million, three-year contract, which was announced on 7 April, will see CACI provide engineering and technical support to the SEC. It was awarded under the CECOM SEC Software and Systems Engineering Services Next Generation (SSES NexGen) programme.
Under the contract, CACI will support the C3T army reprogramming analysis team of the CECOM SEC in developing and fielding software to be used in electronic warfare systems to help ground and airborne soldiers identify battlefield threats and support commanders in military operations.
John Mengucci, president and chief operating officer of US operations, CACI, said: 'CACI offers proven project management skills and recognised software credentials to provide the high-value software development and engineering solutions our armed forces need to ensure system readiness and an operational advantage for our troops.'
Ken Asbury, president and CEO, CACI, added: 'This award on the SSES NexGen vehicle continues CACI's record of success supporting the US Army's SEC. As our fifth award on this contract, it demonstrates the army's confidence in our ability to deliver next-generation software that helps commanders make tactical decisions based on the changing warfighting conditions on the battlefield.'
