Information Dominance / Command and Control

Consistently ranked among the top federal systems integration contractors, SAIC is the company that "pulls it all together" for U.S. forces and allies. As the lead integrator for the Global Command and Control System (GCCS), for example, we help give warfighters an integrated picture of the battlespace and commanders greater capability to deploy a U.S. fighting force around the globe at any time and provide it with the information and direction to complete its mission.

As the military's key command, control, computing, communications, and intelligence (C4I) system, the GCCS uses the Defense Information Infrastructure Common Operating Environment (DII COE) to support joint warfighting needs. Helping to ensure that C4I maintains its pace with technology, SAIC leads several significant projects to bring leading edge DII COE-compliant technologies to the GCCS community. These include Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) efforts supporting senior levels of command, such as the National Command Authority and Joint Staff, down through Joint Task Force Commanders and service components, such as the Marine Corps' Chemical/Biological Warfare Incident Response Force.

SAIC also helps provide the image and mapping backdrop for intelligence-gatherers to help U.S. warfighters maintain dominant awareness of the battlespace. In a significant win, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), formerly NIMA, awarded an SAIC-led team a major contract to provide complete systems integration and engineering services to develop, implement, and improve the U.S. Imagery and Geospatial Information System. The goal: to provide timely, relevant, and accurate imagery intelligence and geospatial information.

Established in 1996, NGA brings together in a single organization the imagery tasking, exploitation, production and dissemination responsibilities and the mapping, charting and geodetic functions of eight separate organizations of the defense and intelligence communities.
