US Army awards R23G task order contract to CACI

CACI International has secured a contract to provide rapid response technical forensics and exploitation support to the US Army.

Awarded under the Rapid Response Third Generation (R23G) contract vehicle, the multi-year task order requires the company to continue the provision of the support services to the Army Communications-Electronics Research, Development and Engineering Center’s Intelligence and Information Warfare Directorate (I2WD).

The company will provide technology insertion, system integration/installation, fabrication/prototyping, testing/certification, studies/analyses, logistics support, as well as training and engineering support, including re-engineering and reverse engineering for a range of equipment and anti-terrorism technology.

Work is expected to advance new technologies to combat improvised explosive devices (IEDs).

CACI CEO and US Operations president John Mengucci said: "CACI will leverage our software engineering expertise and in-depth knowledge of the Intelligence and Information Warfare Directorate’s technology environment to enhance the army’s capability to field new counter- improvised explosive device (IED) technology."

CACI president and CEO Ken Asbury said: "The world remains a dangerous place, with new global threats continuously emerging.

"With this award to continue our support for the army’s technical forensics and exploitation mission, we have the opportunity to advance technology whenever the military needs it, which will help protect American soldiers wherever they serve."

According to the company, the deal increases the size and scope of its work for army in its command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C4ISR) market area.

CACI has been extensively supporting I2WD’s mission to research and develop intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, electronic warfare, and cyber technologies employed by the US troops to counter new and varying threats.

Specifically, the support includes the development, design, and implementation of critical software.
