MCLEAN, Va. - Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) has announced that it was awarded a prime contract by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to provide engineering services in support of the Adaptive Radar Countermeasures (ARC) program.
The multiple-award, cost-plus-fixed-fee contract has a six-month base period of performance, 54 option months, and a total contract value of $31.5 million for both awardees, if all options are exercised. Work will be performed primarily in Arlington, Virginia, and Clifton, New Jersey.
The goal of the ARC program is to enable U.S. airborne electronic warfare systems to automatically generate effective countermeasures against new, unknown, and adaptive radars in real time in the field. Under the contract, SAIC will provide engineering services including the design, development, integration, and testing of a viable ARC system that allows independent insertion of additional third-party algorithm developers. SAIC is one of two contractors eligible to compete for task orders under this contract.
