SRA to Support AF's Space Surveillance Network Analysis Model

(Fairfax, Va., August 27, 2010) -- SRA International, Inc. (NYSE: SRX), a leading provider of technology and strategic consulting services and solutions to government organizations and commercial clients, today announced that the Department of Defense (DoD) awarded the company a task order to be performed under the U.S. General Services Administration Mission Oriented Business Integrated Services contract. The task order has an initial annual value of $1 million.

This task order is a follow-on to a contract recently completed by SRA for the Space Surveillance Network Analysis Model (SSNAM). SRA will support DoD's Headquarters Air Force Space Command Directorate by performing studies of current and potentially future operational capabilities in support of Space Surveillance Network (SSN) Force Structure analyses, the integrated planning process and program objective memoranda.

The SSNAM is a large-scale simulation model with capabilities to simulate and assess the effects on operational high-accuracy and general satellite catalog accuracy metrics and SSN response metrics due to changes in SSN force structure, including ground-based radar and optical sensors as well as space-based optical and infrared sensors. SRA will provide technical support to operational studies, adjustments and tuning of the model's environment to meet formal verification and validation requirements, and integration of new and modified sensor models.

"We are proud to support the DoD with this important project to provide accurate, unbiased and realistic SSN modeling and simulation throughput for decision making," said SRA Senior Vice President Intelligence and Space Sector Scott Large. "SRA will continue to leverage its highly skilled, specialized resources to help the Air Force ensure that the simulation environment and simulation based acquisition practices incorporate valid representations of space and missile operations."
