Continuing Work with Communications-Electronics Command Helps Warfighters In-theater Enhance Mission Readiness, Efficiency, and Safety

ARLINGTON, Va., June 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CACI International Inc (NYSE: CACI) announced today that it has been awarded a $125 million prime contract to support the U.S. Army's Communications-Electronics Command's (CECOM) Fires Software Engineering Division (FSED) in providing software engineering support for fielded fire support systems. The award, for one base year and two option years, was competitively awarded under the Army's Strategic Services Sourcing (S3) contract vehicle. The work increases both the size and scope of CACI's software engineering business through its C4ISR (command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance) functional core competency. The task order brings the total amount of S3 awards to CACI to nearly $2 billion.

FSED is responsible for providing software engineering support for U.S. Army and other DoD organizations that are developing command and control, target acquisition, meteorological, fire direction, and fire control software intensive systems. The organization supports fielded fire support systems through software enhancement, maintenance, worldwide fielding, and post fielding support.

Team CACI consists of primary subcontractors Technology Service Corporation and Techrizon, which has supported FSED for over 30 years, and other key and essential members. The companies will provide system and software engineering support services for a variety of field artillery and fires systems including command and control, fire support, meteorological measuring systems, several variations of Firefinder Radar Systems, and Lightweight Counter Mortar Radar systems. The CACI team stands ready to support the Army's migration to emerging network-centric architectures in support of FSED's mission.

According to Bill Fairl, CACI's President of U.S. Operations, "We are pleased to work with a new client, the Fires Software Engineering Division, and continue the support that our partners have provided for some three decades. In addition, providing tactical software support for this award enhances our C4ISR footprint in the market."

CACI President and CEO Paul Cofoni said, "This new S3 task order indicates the high level of confidence the Army has in CACI's abilities to support the U.S. Armed Forces' most critical in-theater missions. We're gratified that the expertise our team provides will directly help the nation's warfighters operate worldwide with greater effectiveness and safety."
