Science Applications International Corp. has announced plans to add a new Innovation Factory Hub in Huntsville, Alabama, the company’s second largest single location, expanding its presence and support to local customers.
This expansion allows SAIC to support emerging needs, while also leveraging its solutions and companywide expertise, said Jim Scanlon, SAIC executive vice president and general manager of the Defense Systems Group.
“With all sectors rapidly implementing technology to meet and conduct business virtually, our new Innovation Factory Hub will enable our Huntsville-area customers to accelerate solutions to meet their mission requirements,” he said.
SAIC’s Innovation Factory is a nationwide network of physical and virtual environments using a highly automated, cloud-hosted toolset; agile practices; and DevSecOps production chains to rapidly build, test and deploy first iterations of solutions quickly and then enhance them quickly through close customer collaboration.
The Innovation Factory Hub is focused on driving defense modernization efforts while addressing the technical challenges associated with DOD multi-domain operations and force modernization initiatives, said SAIC Chief Technology Officer Charles Onstott.
“Our researchers and engineers will leverage digital engineering and agile software development to enable the DOD to rapidly explore and implement innovative technologies, such as big data analytics, artificial intelligence, augmented and virtual reality, and modeling and simulation, focused on improving mission outcomes,” he said.
