Science Applications International announced that its subsidiary, Eagan, McAllister Associates (EMA) has won a contract from the Naval Air Systems Command to support the U.S. Navy's E-6B Take Charge and Move Out (TACAMO)/Airborne Command Post (ABNCP) Survivable Mobile Command Center (SMCC) program. This new multiple-award blanket purchase agreement (BPA) contract has a five-year period of performance and a total ceiling value of $23 million.

As one of eight awardees to receive a BPA contract, EMA will provide E-6B fleet operators with full life-cycle support of the aircraft, engine, and mission equipment. Work will be performed primarily in Patuxent River, Md.

The E-6B TACAMO/ABNCP SMCC is an airborne communications platform capable of transmitting emergency action messages as part of the Worldwide Military Command and Control System. The E-6B can maintain continuous airborne and ground alert coverage, and operate in low-frequency to extra-high-frequency ranges. The fleet maintains continuous airborne and ground alert coverage 365 days a year at various sites. There are currently 16 E-6B aircraft performing the TACAMO/ABNCP missions.

"This is a great opportunity for SAIC to build upon our long relationship with this program," said Debbie James, SAIC senior vice president and business unit general manager. "The importance of this mission is no less important today than at the height of the Cold War. We are proud to work alongside the Navy and E-6B community to provide the technology required in today's asymmetric battle space."
