SAIC will continue to provide training solutions to the U.S. Navy under a renewed prime contract valued at $202 million in support of the Fleet Deployment Training Program.
Under the contract, which has a 10-month base period, four one-year options and one six-month potential extension period, SAIC will provide modernized virtual and synthetic training environments for U.S. Fleet Forces and associated fleet commands and activities to boost the Navy’s combat readiness and improve its operational effectiveness, according to a press release published Thursday.

The training and readiness support capabilities will reach 19 different headquarters and training commands, encompassing academic instruction, live exercises, synthetic training events and policy support to ensure comprehensive pre-deployment training and certification, as well as post-deployment sustainment for fleet units and staffs.

The company will also deliver reach-back training support to strike groups and amphibious ready groups during deployments.

It directly enhances the Navy’s ability to deploy and employ all facets of the naval force on a global scale – making a critical difference in combat situations and supporting the Chief of Naval Operation’s priority of developing highly capable warfighting teams equipped for the complexities of modern combat environments.”
