• Company to Investigate, Integrate, and Sustain Innovative Solutions for Geospatial Intelligence

(McLean, Va., August 19, 2010) -- Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) (NYSE: SAI) today announced it has been awarded the Total Application Services for Enterprise Requirements (TASER) contract by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) to research and implement innovative solutions to emerging critical geospatial intelligence requirements. The multiple award, indefinite-deliver/indefinite-quantity contract has a five-year base period and a total value of $1 billion for all awardees.

NGA is a DoD combat support agency and a member of the national Intelligence Community. The agency's mission is to provide timely, relevant, and accurate geospatial intelligence (GEOINT) in support of national security. Under the TASER contract, SAIC and other contractors will compete for work supporting NGA's mission in all four of the TASER functional categories: engineering and trade studies; pilots and prototypes; integration and deployment; and application sustainment. SAIC's work on subsequent task orders will expand the company's mission capability integrator role.

"We look forward to continuing our service to the NGA by evaluating and integrating new geospatial technologies and sustaining current GEOINT applications and infrastructure services," said Stu Shea, SAIC group president.
