HII has been contracted by the US Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) to conduct research, development, test and evaluation of emerging technologies, the company announced on 3 August.
Under the $127 million task order, HII will enhance the functionality and capability of systems integration through the development of software and hardware capabilities, systems engineering, research and analysis. The support will develop and create new knowledge for the enhancement of the Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) repository, as well as the R&D and science and technology (S&T) community.
“Through proven methodologies and tools, our team will deliver solutions that deliver greater efficiencies across the systems used by the Security Cooperation community,” explained Garry Schwartz, President of HII Mission Technologies C5ISR business group. “This will increase DSCA’s ability to achieve milestone success and realize cost savings while addressing enhancements that will benefit all DOD-administered Security Assistance programs.”
The five-year contract was awarded under DoD’s Information Analysis Center’s (IAC) multiple-award contract. Sponsored by DTIC, IAC provides technical data management and research support for DoD and federal government users. The programme serves the DoD S&T and acquisition communities to drive innovation and technological developments by enhancing collaboration through integrated S&T information development and dissemination for the DoD and broader S&T community.
