CACI Awarded $25 Million Defense Information Operations Contract
Award With Joint Information Operations Center Expands CACI Support for DoD Command and Control Training
Arlington, Va., September 18, 2001 — CACI International Inc (NASDAQ:CACI) announced today that it has been awarded an estimated $25 million contract by the Defense Department's Joint Information Operations Center (JIOC) in San Antonio, Texas. Under the Joint Modeling for Information Operations Simulations & Training (JMIST) contract, awarded through the General Services Administration (GSA) Federal Supply Service Schedule by the San Antonio Field Office of the GSA Federal Technology Service, CACI will model and simulate battlefield situations to train senior commanders in managing information operations and C4ISR (Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) activities. The award, with a duration of one base year and four option years, continues support for CACI's legacy modeling and simulation expertise and brings new work in information operations to the company's C4ISR business, a strategic growth area. The contract also represents another win in a growing series of significant GSA awards for the company.
Information operations integrate all aspects of data-gathering to provide senior battlestaff with greater capabilities in the command and control of weapons, forces, and their implementation. The objective of the JMIST contract is to support the training of senior officers in assessing and acting on such data during battle. Specific training will include electronic warfare, command and control warfare, application of intelligence assets, information assurance, and computer network attack and defense.
According to CACI's President of U.S. Operations, Ken Johnson, "The goal of the JMIST program is to teach commanders how to gain 'information dominance' during a conflict. CACI's credentials in modeling and simulation, as well as our expertise in today's command and control systems, networks, information assurance, and the total technology spectrum, assure the Joint Information Operations Center that it will achieve its training objectives effectively and within budget."
CACI was founded on simulation technology in 1962 with SIMSCRIPT, the first computer language written specifically for simulation development. Since then, CACI has become a top player in the DoD simulation arena, where SIMSCRIPT II.5® is now used to write wargaming simulation programs, and CACI experts and techniques support training on such efforts as flight simulators for military pilots and battlestaff training for C4ISR systems. CACI also has other significant business in C4ISR applications, providing high technology and engineering support to members of the nation's intelligence community.
CACI Chairman and CEO Dr. J.P. (Jack) London said, "This $25 million contract win with the Joint Information Operations Center expands CACI's long-standing partnership with the Department of Defense and maintains our company's focus on providing critical, comprehensive support for both intelligence and command and control programs. As a GSA Schedule win, the award also reinforces our commitment to a contract vehicle that is integral to our company's growth in key areas."
