The U.S. Missile Defense Agency (MDA) awarded CSC a task order to provide systems engineering support for all MDA-funded ballistic missile defense systems. The task order has a one-year base period and a one-year option. If all options are exercised, it has an estimated value of $80 million. The task order was issued under the MiDAESS Group 3 Engineering Support contract, which CSC won in 2010.
Under this task order, CSC will provide matrixed systems engineering support to 19 program and project offices within MDA. CSC will enhance the delivery and deployment of these new systems.
President of CSC’s North American Public Sector James W. Sheaffer said, “As the ballistic missile threat continues to grow in size and complexity, CSC will ensure the Missile Defense Agency has the ability to proactively plan and integrate the next generation of defense technologies. CSC’s ability to help drive down costs through consolidation and standardization will provide the agency with savings and
improvements to continue supporting its missions at greater efficiencies in the future.”
The MDA is a research, development and acquisition agency within the U.S. Department of Defense. Its mission is to develop, test and field ballistic missile defense systems to defend the United States against all ranges of enemy ballistic missiles.
