The services facilitate the migration of capabilities from older, antiquated applications and hardware to a contemporary infrastructure using modern tools, techniques and processes.
SAIC senior vice president and business unit general manager Dan Harris said the company will deliver applications and information services that help air force personnel to produce decision-quality information at the right place and time.
The capability packages (CPs) provided as part of the contract will provide the functionality required for replacement and extension of the air force’s conventional Theater Battle Management Core Systems-Force Level (TBMCS-FL) system.
