ARLINGTON, Va., Nov. 3 (UPI) -- CACI International Corp. of Virginia will continue management and technical engineering services to upgrade common ground systems in U.S. Army operations.

The contract from the service's Distributed Common Ground System-Army is worth $45 million.

General Dynamics C4 Systems is CACI's teammate in the project.

"We're pleased to continue our support for the Distributed Common Ground System-Army," said Bill Fairl, CACI's president of U.S. Operations. "Our demonstrated expertise in technical engineering and program management is an ideal fit for helping the Army deliver the intelligence our warfighters need in theater operations."

DCGS-A integrates intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance data within a single system to streamline the Army's ability to process and disseminate data to commanders in the field. The benefit is that field commanders gain a better situational understanding of their environment, which enables them to visualize and analyze imminent threats, predict threat intentions and develop countermeasures.

The company said its team will provide software and lifecycle management for the integrated systems by performing budget and program financial analysis, managing and training users and providing logistical support.
