 Science Applications International has announced that it has been awarded a prime contract by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to support the agency's Deep Green Program.

This multiple-award contract has a one-year base period of performance, two one-year options, and a contract value of more than $42 million if all options are exercised. Work will be performed primarily in Orlando, Fla.

The Deep Green program seeks to develop a synergistic human/machine system to help military officers and their staffs quickly make command decisions and generate multiple options on the battlefield.

The goal is to enable commanders with the ability to foresee the outcomes of plans through simulation, providing the ability to adjust those plans as required.

Under the contract, the SAIC team will design, develop, and integrate the system, including establishing warfighter computer interfaces, creating a common futures graph, and building a synthetic battlespace engine that will understand inputs and employ reason to predict multiple battlefield outcomes.

"The Deep Green program will significantly advance military planning technology to support the capabilities of the commander on the battlefield," said Beverly Seay, SAIC senior vice president and business unit general manager.

"We are proud to leverage our expertise in the areas of modeling and simulation, software development, and systems integration to advance this cutting-edge program. We look forward to creating an intuitive system that will help commanders visualize the future and act effectively to save warfighters' lives."
