The company will offer innovative solutions to speed up space missions
Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) has signed a $444 million contract to upgrade launch equipment and information systems at Space Force launch sites in Florida and California.
SAIC, a military industrial and engineering contractor headquartered in Reston, Virginia, beat out several competitors to win a Digital Transformation, Modernization and Modification (DTAMM) contract from the U.S. Space Force's Space Systems Command.
«Under this contract, SAIC will modernize legacy space launch instruments and processes to support accelerated space mission frequency», — the company announced on March 11.
DTAMM is a five-year agreement with an option to renew for an additional five years. The work will be carried out at the country's largest space test sites — the Space Force's Cape Canaveral Space Station in Florida and Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.
Some of the DTAMM contract projects include cloud infrastructure, software, software development services, and cybersecurity strategies. This will help the Space Force implement «data-driven actions» aimed at improving efficiency at decades-old ranges.
