CACI International Inc. [CAI] recently announced it has been awarded a $45 million task order contract to provide program management and technical engineering services to upgrade Common Ground Systems (CGS) with subsystems from the Army’s Distributed Common Ground System-Army (DCGS-A) Ground Mobile system.
With the support of key teammate General Dynamics [GD] C4 Systems, CACI received the one base-year (six-month option) award under its Strategic Services Sourcing (S3) contract with the Army.
The DCGS-A integrates intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance data within a single system to streamline the Army’s ability to process and disseminate this data to commanders in the field. The benefit is that field commanders gain a better situational understanding of their environment, which enables them to visualize and analyze imminent threats, predict threat intentions, and develop countermeasures.
The enhanced CGS systems will provide warfighters with improved means of receiving, processing and sharing intelligence data in a mobile, tactical environment.
The CACI team will provide software and lifecycle management for the integrated systems by performing budget and program financial analysis, managing and training users, and providing logistical support.
Bill Fairl, CACI’s president of U.S. Operations, said: “We’re pleased to continue our support for the Distributed Common Ground System-Army. Our demonstrated expertise in technical engineering and program management is an ideal fit for helping the Army deliver the intelligence our warfighters need in theater operations.”
CACI President and CEO Paul Cofoni said, “With this new contract, CACI continues its longtime commitment to providing support in the battle against global terrorism. We look forward to offering proven solutions for the Army’s data and intelligence needs in the years to come.”
