SAIC Awarded Contract By Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency

MCLEAN, Va., May 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) (NYSE: SAI) announced 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, Va. and Clifton, NJ.

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.
