CHANTILLY, Va., Dec. 14, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Perspecta Inc.
(NYSE: PRSP), a leading U.S. government services provider,
announced today that it has received an award to perform systems
engineering and integration (SE&I) work for the newly
established Space Development Agency (SDA). The single award,
indefinite-delivery / indefinite-quantity contract, which
represents new work for the company, has a ceiling of $112 million and an ordering period of five
years. Work on the program commenced in late October under an
initial $17.8 million task
order.
Perspecta will deliver SE&I support for SDA's initial
satellite constellation known as Tranche 0, a system designed to
demonstrate the initial capabilities of the National Defense Space
Architecture (NDSA). Under the terms of the
agreement, Perspecta engineers and architects will develop
infrastructure to ensure the NDSA Transport Layer, Tracking Layer
and ground segment operate in unison to support warfighter mission
scenarios and experiments.
"Warfighters on the ground depend on Perspecta every day to
accomplish their missions and we're excited to extend our impact
beyond the traditional battlefield," said Jeff Bohling, senior vice president of the
defense group at Perspecta. "Our sophisticated, scalable SE&I
expertise will support the U.S. government in maintaining a
multi-domain technological and military advantage in an era of
increasing threat and international competition."
Perspecta's expertise in the space ecosystem is essential to
supporting the federal government's efforts in protecting the
economic and national security interests of the country. The
solution for SDA will build on the company's other space-related
accomplishments for the intelligence community, the U.S. Department
of Defense and civilian agencies.
