27 Oct 16. CACI Awarded Prime Position on $978m IDIQ for National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency. Company Awarded First Task Order for $29m to Deliver Full-Motion Video Analysis. CACI International Inc (NYSE: CACI) announced today that it has been awarded a prime position on the Full-Motion Video (FMV) functional area of the Multi-Intelligence Analytical and Collection Support Services (MACSS) multiple-award, indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle to support the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA). The company has also been awarded a five-year, $29 million task order, the first to be awarded under the MACSS contract vehicle, which has a ceiling of $978 million. The award of the contract vehicle is an outcome of CACI’s 2016 acquisition of National Security Solutions (NSS) and represents new work for CACI in its Intelligence Services market area. The NGA collects, analyzes, and distributes imagery and geospatial intelligence for the U.S. Intelligence Community (IC) and Department of Defense in support of national security. Under the terms of the contract vehicle, CACI will provide airborne intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance and FMV expertise and analysis to the NGA and its customers, in support of U.S. and allied operations around the globe.
John Mengucci, CACI’s Chief Operating Officer and President of U.S. Operations, said, “CACI is uniquely qualified to support the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency in all areas of geospatial intelligence, including full-motion video analysis and exploitation. Our decade-long experience in this highly specialized field enables us to deliver the actionable, time-critical information NGA’s customers need to fulfill their missions in a turbulent world.”
According to CACI President and Chief Executive Officer Ken Asbury, “CACI is committed to providing solutions and services that our government customers can rely on to safeguard our national security. We are proud to support NGA’s mission with an unprecedented level of expertise and innovation, and a commitment to ethics and integrity.” (Source: BUSINESS WIRE)

27 Oct 16. The British Royal Air Force’s fleet of Sentinel surveillance aircraft will continue to receive support from Raytheon UK in a £135m (US $165m) deal announced by new Defence Procurement Minister Harriett Baldwin on Thursday. The new contract, known as the Integrated Sentinel Support Solution, will see the company provide design, maintenance, upgrade and other services for surveillance aircraft up to its current retirement date of 2021. Company executives said they expected to start an update of the aircraft’s radar next year in a program already funded by the Ministry of Defence (MoD). Raytheon ‎has been supporting the Sentinel since 2007 when the first of what is now a fleet of five aircraft entered service. The Royal Air Force (RAF) had been planning to ax one of the five Sentinels this month for budgetary reasons ‎but gave the aircraft a reprieve until the financial year ends in March 2017 as it reviews it’s information, surveillance, target acquisition and reconnaissance (ISTAR) resources. The temporary stay of execution‎ followed an impassioned plea by the commander of the RAF’s ISTAR force not to reduce the fleet size. Air Commodore Dean Andrew told reporters at the Farnborough air show in July that the Sentinel was the “prime minister’s go-to aircraft” and it would be “unimaginable” to cut ‎the fleet. Speaking to reporters following the support contract announcement at Raytheon’s Broughton, north Wales, facility where much of the support work is carried out, Baldwin declined to say whether the fifth aircraft would remain in the fleet beyond the end of March or if the aircraft’s in-service period would be extended beyond 2021.
