SAIC Awarded Army Simulation Contract
(ORLANDO) February 13, 2006 -- Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) announced today that it has been awarded a four-year cost-plus-fixed-fee contract to provide product improvement for the One Semi-Automated Forces (OneSAF) Object System (OOS) program, a simulation application for semi-automated forces. The base-year value of the award is $5,789,744, with option years valued at $3,979,837, $4,383,422, and $4,785,138 for a total of $18, 938,141.
As the OneSAF architecture and integration contractor, SAIC has been retained to design, develop, test, integrate, and release block upgrades to the baseline system, which intends to satisfy user-defined operational requirements. SAIC has developed similar semi-automated force applications including the Close Combat Tactical Trainer and maintained and improved Modular Semi-Automated Forces under the Army's Advanced Distributed Simulation Technology II contract, as well as developing the OneSAF baseline.
“This approach to simulation is designed to offer great cost savings for the Army, and provides training, analysis and research capabilities that are flexible and easy to use over a wide range of applications," said Beverly Seay, SAIC manager of the Strategies, Simulation and Training Business Unit. "The SAIC employees on our OneSAF team will build software applications, working side by side with our government customers at PEO STRI, with both parties aiming towards the ultimate goal of improved combat readiness."
When fielded, the OneSAF Objective System will enable properly trained users to compose tailored simulation environments, on the desktop, throughout the Army. The program is designed to enable Army trainers, force developers, engineers, and research scientists to take the tools and components provided in the system's toolkit and compose a virtually limitless variety of simulation capabilities involving entities, units, behaviors, synthetic natural environments and other factors they choose to include.
