Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) (NYSE: SAI) today announced it has been awarded a prime contract by the U.S. Navy's Program Executive Office (PEO) of Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence (C4I) to develop Department of Defense command and control (C2) software, as well as modification and enhancement of existing C2 systems. The multiple award, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract, has a three-year base period of performance, two one-year options and a ceiling value of more than $625 million for SAIC. Work will be performed primarily at PEO C4I's headquarters in San Diego, Calif.

PEO C4I provides integrated communication and information technology systems, delivering end-to-end connectivity and enabling decision superiority to ensure mission success of U.S. naval forces. It acquires, fields, and supports C4I systems that extend across Navy, joint, and coalition platforms. This includes managing acquisition programs and projects that cover all C4I disciplines: applications, networks, communications, intelligence and surveillance, and reconnaissance systems for afloat platforms and shore commands. Under the contract, SAIC will provide support in areas including software engineering, design, development, integration and modification, as well as test and evaluation. SAIC will also provide integrated logistics support, and configuration and program management services as required.

"We look forward to helping PEO C4I identify effective and affordable solutions to emerging C2 (command and control) requirements, and assisting them as they continue to acquire, integrate and deliver C4I technology to the naval warfighter operating on afloat platforms, at shore commands, or in a joint service environment," said Peter Dube, SAIC senior vice president and business unit general manager.
