RESTON, Va. -- The U.S. Army awarded Science Applications International Corp. a $3.6 billion contract to continue providing engineering services supporting hardware-in-the-loop (HWIL) and modeling & simulation development for the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command, Aviation & Missile Center (DEVCOM AvMC), Software, Simulation, Systems Engineering and Integration (S3I) Directorate.

The potential eight-year contract, with a possible six-month extension, enables SAIC to continue providing engineering services supporting the full life cycle for AvMC HWIL techniques for development and testing of embedded systems, as well as for force protection, trainers, and virtual, interactive and multimedia systems. These products include systems, subsystems, components and software versions and hardware configurations that meet a measurable and testable set of requirements.

Work under this contract will be performed primarily in Huntsville, Alabama, and was under the General Services Administration’s One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services (OASIS) professional services contract, which is managed by the Army Contracting Command - Redstone Arsenal. This contract is the fourth significant award to support the S3I Directorate for SAIC, totaling more than $8.1 billion. During the past year, SAIC won a $2.9 billion contract for software development and maintenance services, an $830 million contract for aviation systems engineering services, and an $800 million contract for modeling & simulation systems engineering support services.

The Army DEVCOM AvMC, S3I Directorate develops and delivers responsive aviation, missile and calibration materiel readiness in order to optimize joint warfighter capabilities at the point of need. With hardware-in-the-loop and modeling & simulation, SAIC engineers are able to cost-effectively test aircraft components such as electronic control units and line-replaceable units, running these components through complex scenarios.

SAIC will lead a team of companies for this contract, including a network of subcontractors and small businesses, primarily based in Huntsville.
