SRA Awarded $19 Million Air Force Contract

Developing a one-stop source for AF Distributed Common Ground System operational, planning and programming documentation
FAIRFAX, Va., Sept. 10, 2009 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SRA International, Inc. (NYSE: SRX - News), a leading provider of technology and strategic consulting services and solutions to government organizations and commercial clients, today announced it has been awarded a project by the U.S. Air Force Deputy Chief of Staff for Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (AF/A2) valued at $19 million over three years if all tasks are exercised.
Under the contract, SRA will develop a one-stop source that will improve the planning, programming and operational employment of AF reconnaissance equipment and the AF Distributed Common Ground System (DCGS). DCGS is the AF's weapon system that provides critical combat or other operational activity decision-making information to the Joint Task Force and component commanders below.
Building on the Air Force's web-enabled intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) database, SRA will design interfaces allowing direct user input to the enterprise architecture database, along with models that perform independent analysis and experimentation while maintaining data integrity. This analytical capability will provide the AF team with the ability to make policy, functional and programmatic decisions related to the continuing development, fielding and operation of the DCGS enterprise.
"Timely analysis and dissemination of information are challenges for the Air Force warfighter in combat situations," said SRA Vice President Anna Hogan. "With over a decade of DCGS modeling and simulation experience, SRA's web-enabled system will provide quick analysis of various reconnaissance data flows, communications capacities, ground crew composition and other key components to the Air Force."
