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.
Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) announced today it was awarded a prime contract by the US Army Information Systems Engineering Command (ISEC) to provide information systems engineering and information technology (IT) services in support of the United States Army Information Systems Engineering Command (USAISEC) and federal agency communication systems worldwide. The multiple award, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract has a five year period of performance with a total contract ceiling value of $892 million.
ISEC carries out important roles in the Army's information mission area, with major functions including engineering, installing, quality assurance and testing for the diverse communications and automation systems throughout the Army. Under the contract, SAIC will provide information systems engineering and IT services as required, including full life cycle planning, design, development, engineering, implementation, procurement, logistics, evaluation, test, sustainment, and ancillary services for all ISEC projects. SAIC is one of three contractors that will compete for task orders under the contract.
"We look forward to providing innovative and flexible technologies to support ISEC's engineering and technical requirements around the world," said Peter Dube, SAIC senior vice president and business unit general manager.
