Digital engineering yields significant gains by reducing lead times, enabling informed decision-making, and ensuring more complete, consistent designs of engineered systems.
There is an impetus to adopt digital engineering by U.S. government agencies responsible for defense and national security, as part of the bigger digital transformation revolution. Many reports have indicated government respondents felt they were behind the private sector in use of digital technologies.
Continuing a long-standing tradition, SAIC reaffirmed its commitment to supporting military and veteran families with its expanded corporate citizenship program. In 2019, we increased monetary and employee volunteer support in collaboration with nonprofit organizations that focus on service members, veterans, and their families.
Executing the scientific mission of NOAA’s Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL), which involves modeling, understanding, and then predicting the Earth's systems, is incredibly complex. Relying on high performance computing, is managed by huge scripts that define input data, experiment parameters, diagnostics, compute resources, data transfers, short- and long-term storage, and more. Today's "snap together" cluster computing solutions aim to meet complex mission needs like NOAA's.
The words “Build Complete” flash on the screen as the prototype engineer carefully retrieves the finished part from the machine. Eric Smay’s advanced engineering team has just finished creating an internal combustion engine air intake that optimizes engine airflow and air intake sensor positioning during engine dynamometer testing. But sheet metal wasn’t utilized to fabricate this intake box.
U.S. military personnel are often on the edge of global conflict and our troops face unique circumstances and terrains. For many years, the Department of Defense has sought ways in which it can harness the power of commercial communications services and capabilities to advance battlefield capabilities to improve situational awareness and make better real-time decisions.
This concept has been coined the Internet of Battlefield Things, or IoBT, and we are now at a critical inflection point where chatter and wishful thinking are transforming into reality.
One in four SAIC employees is a veteran of the U.S. armed services. That translates to 6,000 people who bring valuable experiences, skills, determination, and discipline that strengthen us as a premier technology integrator. With the U.S. Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Department of Defense organizations representing more than 50 percent of the customers we serve, we naturally offer interesting and meaningful work for military veterans.
The Food and Drug Administration’s fundamental role is protecting Americans’ health by keeping the nation’s food safe. The FDA’s health and life sciences communities use supercomputing resources we support to conduct studies and analyses that yield more nutritious food and prevent foodborne illnesses.
The Philosopher’s Stone is a legendary substance that was believed to have the ability to turn base metals into gold. While the stone really is just a legend, we are using materials science and high performance computing (HPC) resources to create novel materials more valuable than gold!
In just two years from now, we will need 3.5 million additional cyber professionals to help defend the nation against hackers and bad actors. This forecast, by Cybersecurity Ventures, shows how critical it is to find cybersecurity talent as U.S. government agencies and businesses modernize and secure their evolving IT systems. SAIC recognizes the investment in security is a necessity.
