Science Applications International Corp. has been awarded three contracts worth $58.2M to support the Airborne Electronic Attack (AEA) Integrated Product Team (IPT) Jammer Technique Optimization (JATO) Program, the International Program, and the AEA IPT EA-18G Program.
“These three contracts are a testament to SAIC’s reputation of delivering mission-critical solutions and dedicated support to the Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division, Point Mugu,” said Barbara Supplee, executive vice president, Navy Business Group at SAIC. “This work goes beyond technical services. We are contributing to the sustainment of engineering services as well as airborne jammer optimization and effectiveness data collection and reporting for the Navy.”
Under the JATO contract, SAIC will deliver a wide range of technical services including jammer technique development, test and evaluation engineering, interoperability testing and analysis, threat analysis, tactics development, mission data development and production and Fleet liaison activities. This work will play a crucial role in optimizing jamming techniques, enhancing the effectiveness of Electronic Warfare (EW) platforms and systems and ensuring the readiness of the EA-18G aircraft and other EW assets.
Under the AEA IPT International contract, SAIC will continue to provide support to the international service project by performing maintenance of existing AEA simulations and development of tools and new simulations. SAIC will also perform the engineering, technical and policy support services for the international program teams, supporting Foreign Military Sales (FMS), Cooperative Development and other relationship programs for the Electronic Attack (EA) and Electronic Warfare products.
Additional support to AEA IPT includes engineering services for the development and sustainment efforts of both the United States Navy (USN) and Foreign Military Sales (FMS) configurations of the EA-18G. Engineering services will include cooperative and collaborative engineering support to other laboratories and will include general management, engineering support, product support and systems engineering, integration, and test for the EA-18G team.
