SAIC Delivers Synthetic Environment Core and Receives $18 Million Follow-On Task Order From U.S. Army
Synthetic Environment Core Links Virtual Training Simulation Devices Into Integrated and Interoperable Training System
SAN DIEGO and MCLEAN, Va., March 27, 2008 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX News Network/ -- Science Applications International Corporation (NYSE: SAI) today announced that it has delivered the initial version of a simulation tool called Synthetic Environment (SE) Core, and was awarded a follow-on task order from the Army's Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training and Instrumentation Program (PEOSTRI) to further develop the capabilities of this tool. The two-year task order has a total value of $18 million.
SE Core is the Army's Common Virtual Environment initiative to link virtual training simulation devices into an integrated and interoperable training system. SAIC received the award under the Army's Simulation, Training and Instrumentation Command (STRICOM) Omnibus Contract. The initial task order, awarded to SAIC in April 2005, was valued at $27 million. Under that task order, SAIC defined a virtual simulation architecture, implemented common virtual components and modified One Semi-Automated Force (OneSAF) to support the virtual simulation domain. Those capabilities were delivered on Dec. 14, 2007.
"SE Core establishes the standard for virtual simulation architectures, providing key interoperable capabilities for future and legacy Army products, including the OneSAF program, which is also supported by SAIC," said Beverly Seay, SAIC senior vice president and business unit general manager. "This ability enables the Army to invest in the development of specific capabilities rather than in redundant components. We are pleased to be part of a program that will help the Army deliver more resources and capabilities to the Warfighter."
