CACI to provide C-UAS technology support
CACI International has received a $48.5 million single-award, IDIQ contract from the US Navy to support the deployment of counter UAS capabilities, the company announced on 2 August.
Under the contract, CACI will provide technical, engineering and project management support services, including modeling and simulation and hardware, software and C2 integration, to the Naval Air Systems Command Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division AIRWorks Rapid Development Capabilities Integrated Product team.
CACI develops, deploys and integrates C-UAS solutions with its SkyTracker product suite, providing fixed site, on-the-move and man-packable technologies.
John Mengucci, chief operating officer, CACI, said: ‘As an industry leader in precision radiofrequency counter-UAS capabilities, CACI offers the Naval Air Systems Command’s AIRWorks team a system-of-systems approach to protecting national security assets.
‘We look forward to continuing to build on the long-standing relationship CACI has developed with the navy and providing our highly specialised and precise technologies that help the navy advance AIRWorks capabilities in support of its important mission.’
