MCLEAN, Va., Aug. 9 (UPI) -- The U.S. Air Force Air Mobility Command is to receive technical services and functional support for its planning system from SAIC.
Under a task order worth more than $19 million if all options are exercised, Science Applications International Corp. will provide software sustainment and development services, as well as training and functional support for AMC's Consolidated Air Mobility Planning System.
The task order has a one-year base period of performance, five one-year options.
SAIC's work will be performed primarily in O'Fallon, Ill.
AMC is a major command of the Air Force that provides global air mobility and airlift and aerial refueling for all of the United States' armed forces. CAMPS is AMC's command-and-control planning and scheduling system.
SAIC said services and support will include software sustainment and development services, as well as training and functional support to enable the effective planning and scheduling of mobility resources for airlift and tanker aircraft.
SAIC will also enhance CAMPS by enabling the system to provide a more integrated view of mobility requirements, resources and commitments; the status of air mobility planning and scheduling activities; and alternative resource options.
"SAIC has a long history of providing support to AMC and understands the important role information technology plays in executing the command's 'Global Reach' mission," said Tom Baybrook, SAIC senior vice president and business unit general manager.
"We look forward to helping AMC sustain and evolve CAMPS into a web-based architecture capable of meeting worldwide airlift and air refueling planning and scheduling needs."
