CACI International’s Spectral program has completed a rigorous review by the U.S. Navy’s Program Executive Office for Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence, known as PEO C4I, achieving Milestone C.
CACI partnered with PEO C4I’s Program Manager Warfare Battlespace Awareness and Information Operations, known as PMW 120, to reach the milestone, marking the start of the program’s low-rate initial production, or LRIP, and deployment phase. The decision moves the electronic warfare technology closer to fielding with U.S. sailors.
“This recent milestone enables the delivery of modern, cutting-edge technologies that empower our warfighters to defend the nation from our adversaries and maintain decision superiority across every domain, especially the electromagnetic spectrum,” said John Mengucci, CACI president and CEO. “Our bold investments in technology and our world-class engineering team have led us to this critical milestone, a momentous leap forward for the Navy. I thank the Navy for entrusting CACI to strengthen their ability to defend the nation and prevail in contested environments, when it matters most – when the stakes are highest, and lives are on the line.”
As part of Milestone C, CACI and PMW 120 executed several iterative capability tests that demonstrated system functionality, leading to the decision by the milestone decision authority.
Under the Spectral program, CACI will develop and deploy the next generation of shipboard signals intelligence and electronic warfare capabilities at scale to help protect warfighters from electronic attacks and adversarial threats.
