The contract is designed to enhance cyber defence capabilities for C5ISR systems over five years.

The Command, Control, Communication, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C5ISR) Centre oversees the US Army’s cryptographic modernisation, information security, and tactical network protection programs, CACI outlined.

According to Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM), the C5ISR Center is made up of elaborates, test beds, and integration facilities, measuring over 1.4 million square feet.

DEVCOM is tasked with leveraging artificial intelligence, quantum effects, autonomy, robotics, advanced energetics, and synthetic biology to provide a qualitative advantage to US soldiers.

“Converged electronic warfare, cyber, and C5ISR capabilities are critical to defend against threats to vital systems in the modern multi-domain operational environment. Our expertise helps C5ISR Center ensure Army cyber defences are ready for the digital battlefield and resilient to future risks,” John Mengucci, CACI president and chief executive officer, said.

“Our decades of cyber security experience bring integrity, confidentiality, and availability of mission networks, systems, and information for our customers.”

The announcement comes just a day after the company announced that it had been awarded a US$81 million task order to support the Defense Intelligence Agency National Media Exploitation Center.

The agreement is expected to provide informational technology operational, sustainment, and modernisation for databases in use by the Department of Defense and intelligence community, a release by CACI outlined.

“CACI has extensive experience in providing tailored capabilities to support DIA’s IT intelligence needs and to address emerging priorities,” Mengucci continued.

“Our expertise ensures security and interoperability for NMEC’s databases and cloud architecture.”

The task order has been awarded under the DIA’s Data Science, Operations, Requirements, Exploitation and Engineering 2 indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract vehicle.
