Space and Naval Warfare (SPAWAR) Systems Center Atlantic has awarded a $219 million prime contract to CACI International Inc, to provide command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance (C4ISR) and business IT software and maintenance services.
The company officials at CACI said that they will offer development and integration support of software systems collectively referred to as the Naval Tactical Command Support System (NTCSS).
NTCSS, which is an information technology system that automates logistics, supply, financial, maintenance, and medical functions for ships, submarines, aviation squadrons, and intermediate maintenance activities, afloat and ashore, will utilise the services for better management of their resources.
Bill Fairl, CACI’s president of U.S. operations, said that they are very pleased that SPAWAR Systems Center Atlantic has chosen CACI to do this work based on their long-term experience and the array of quality assurance and process management credentials they offer.
“We will continue to work closely with SPAWAR Systems Center Atlantic to ensure we satisfy its mission and exceed its expectations,” concluded Fairl.
Apart from these services, the company will leverage Software Engineering Institute (SEI) Capability Maturity Model Integration appraised and ISO 9001:2008 certified processes in the development and deployment of these systems to ensure continual improvement and the highest possible quality of software is being delivered to the customer.
Paul Cofoni, CACI President and CEO said that they are proud that this contract allows CACI to continue their support for naval warfighters deployed throughout the world and also offers the opportunity to apply their experience to other federal agencies that need real-world, real-time systems to operate.
These new services offered from CACI will directly support the United States Navy, and other Department of Defense and federal agencies. These programs touch thousands of active duty and veteran personnel each day, providing real time support and information.
