Under Adverse Conditions ARLINGTON, Va., Sept. 9
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CACI International Inc (NYSE:CACI)
announced today that it has been awarded a $50 million prime
contract to support the Infrared Focal Plane Array (FPA) Technology
(IFT) branch of the U.S. Army's Research Development and
Engineering Command (RDECOM) Communications-Electronics Research
Development and Engineering Center (CERDEC) Night Vision and
Electronic Sensors Directorate (NVESD). CACI received the
three-year award (one base year and two option years) under its
Strategic Services Sourcing (S3) contract with the Army. This new
award increases both the size and scope of CACI's work with NVESD
and strengthens CACI's functional core competency in C4ISR
(command, control, communications, computers, intelligence,
surveillance, and reconnaissance). NVESD provides the Army with
research and development of advanced night vision and other sensor
technologies, such as infrared weapon sights, surveillance systems,
and systems that enhance the soldier's ability to operate at night
and during limited visibility conditions. CACI brings extensive
technical and management expertise to support the IFT branch
mission, with ongoing work first initiated in 2003. With this
contract, CACI will help advance NVESD's infrared focal plane
technology to enhance warfighter target acquisition and
identification capabilities, which will help service members on
land, at sea, and in the air to see better in all day and night
environmental conditions. The company also provides technical
support to NVESD for concept development, systems development, and
systems integration and testing. In continuing its NVESD support
role, CACI ensures uninterrupted services delivered by a team with
in-depth knowledge of, and familiarity with, NVESD's technical and
mission requirements. According to Bill Fairl, President of U.S.
Operations, "We are very pleased with this award as it demonstrates
Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate's sustained
confidence in CACI's ability to strategically assemble proven teams
to develop essential technology. This contract provides the
opportunity to continue to grow a part of our business with which
we have had long-term success." CACI President and CEO Paul Cofoni
said, "Helping warfighters perform their missions at peak
efficiency is always a top priority in countering global terrorism.
We're thankful that this continuing work with the NVESD under the
Army's Strategic Services Sourcing contract helps advance that
critical objective while meshing so precisely with CACI's core
business structure." CACI International Inc provides the
