- Five-year task order supports electromagnetic spectrum operations across DOW
- Work spans research, prototype development, and test and evaluation
- The Potomac Officers Club will host the 2027 Defense R&D Summit on Feb. 4
CACI International has secured a five-year task order worth up to $281 million from the Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane to advance electromagnetic warfare capabilities for the Department of War.
The Reston, Virginia, company said Monday it will provide research, analysis, assessment and prototype development to enhance electromagnetic spectrum operations across multi-domain environments. The work covers the design and maturation of technologies, test and evaluation, and infrastructure and capability enhancements.
Several panels at the Potomac Officers Club’s 2027 Defense R&D Summit will address the contested spectrum environment this work targets, including sessions on assured connectivity for the contested fight and multi-sensor intelligence for the maritime domain. The event is set for Feb. 4 in Virginia. Save your seat now.
What Did CACI’s CEO Say About the NSWC Crane Award?
CACI President and CEO John Mengucci, a seven-time Wash100 Award winner, said the work will accelerate the development of spectrum technologies and AI-enabled decision tools for operators facing increasingly complex threats.
“Electromagnetic superiority is central to how our nation deters conflict and protects its forces, and this work directly strengthens that advantage in the real world,” he noted.
What Did CACI Report for the First Quarter?
The Crane task order was among CACI’s first-quarter fiscal 2027 bookings, which totaled $4.8 billion with about 61 percent from new business. The company reported revenue of $2.5 billion for the quarter ended Sept. 30, up 8.2 percent year over year, with Department of War revenue climbing 14.8 percent to $1.35 billion.
CACI has been building the business through awards and acquisitions. The Army awarded the company a five-year task order worth up to $250 million in January to support spectrum dominance work for its intelligence, electronic warfare, and sensors program office, following a potential three-year, $79 million task order in December 2025 to detect and counter electronic warfare threats. CACI acquired Azure Summit Technology in October 2024 to expand its radio frequency and electronic warfare capabilities.
The company opened a 61,000-square-foot defense electronics manufacturing center in the Greater Rochester, New York, area during the first quarter, expanding manufacturing space by more than 300 percent to support production for the Army’s Terrestrial Layer System Brigade Combat Team Manpack program.
