DRC lands Army Lab analytics deal

Dynamics Research Corp. will provide analytical support to the Army Research Laboratory under a five-year, $5 million contract.

DRC of Andover, Mass., will perform the work for the lab's Lethality Analysis Directorate. The company will analyze selected operational scenarios and develop task-based mission threads. The lab will use the threads to help determine mission impact of Live Fire Events on components and systems within a "system of systems."

The DRC support team will also help model behaviors and decision-making processes for agent-based modeling tools used to support the analysis. The initial 12-month task order is worth $1 million and began in late May.

DRC will apply the Missions and Means Framework in its analyst work.

DRC ranks No. 81 on Washington Technology's 2007 Top 100 list of the largest federal government prime contractors.
