The U.S. Army awarded Reston-based Fortune 500 defense contractor Science Applications International Corp. (SAIC) an $830 million contract to provide engineering services for the branch’s Combat Capabilities Development Command, Aviation & Missile Center (DEVCOM AvMC), the company announced Tuesday.
Under the potential five-and-a-half-year contract, SAIC will provide hardware in-the-loop (HWIL) aviation systems engineering services for DEVCOM AvMC’s Software, Simulation, Systems Engineering and Integration (S3I) Directorate.
“We are honored to have been chosen as the primary provider for the Aviation Systems HWIL Engineering contract and look forward to our continued support of the S3I Directorate, the DEVCOM AvMC and the American soldier,” Bob Genter, president of SAIC’s Defense & Civilian Sector, said in a statement.
