CACI International Inc announced that it has been awarded a four-year single-award, indefinite delivery indefinite quantity expertise contract worth up to $150 million to continue its support of spaceflight systems, simulation, and software for NASA Johnson Space Center (JSC). The program provides advanced aerospace engineering for crewed spacecraft systems, development of simulation and Virtual Reality (VR) applications, and software in support of human space flight. This award builds on more than three decades of CACI’s dedicated support for JSC’s mission.
“This award demonstrates CACI’s proven expertise in supporting advanced systems for human spaceflight and space vehicles. We look forward to continuing this work and offering full-spectrum engineering and software solutions as NASA’s trusted provider,” said John Mengucci, CACI President and Chief Executive Officer.
Work on this contract will be performed in the Houston area with JSC’s Engineering Directorate, primarily the Software, Robotics, and Simulation Division. CACI will provide aerospace systems engineering and analysis support across a range of spacecraft systems including robotics and dynamics; guidance, navigation, and control; avionics, and power. Support includes developing software applications for in-flight systems, high-fidelity modeling and simulation, and VR graphics used to model spacecraft and the space environment for engineering analyses and astronaut extravehicular activity training.

American Made Advocacy: Rebuilding America’s Military Stockpiles Begins With Microelectronics
04/28/2026 | Shane Whiteside -- Column: American Made AdvocacyCurrent world events demonstrate the fragility of long-distance supply chains transiting multiple zones of conflict. The U.S. military is currently drawing down supplies of key munitions and other electronic systems at unprecedented rates.1Every one of those systems is powered by printed circuit boards. The American PCB industry has kept pace with peacetime demand for the defense industry, but will now be called upon to increase production to a wartime footing at rates not seen in decades.

Smart Automation: The Journey of a Component Through an SMT Factory
04/22/2026 | Josh Casper -- Column: Smart AutomationIn electronics manufacturing, the SMT line tends to get most of the attention. Placement machines, inspection systems, screen printers, and reflow ovens often take center stage when discussing productivity improvements or new equipment investments. While these systems are obviously critical to the manufacturing process, they only represent a portion of the journey every component takes before becoming part of a finished assembly.
