The center produces and manages scientific and technical documentation on missile systems operated by other nations, directed energy weapons, selected space programs and systems, and relevant command, control, communications and computer systems.

The work will be performed primarily in Huntsville, Ala. SAIC has supported the center since the 1980s.

SAIC, of McLean, Va., ranksNo. 7 on Washington Technology’s 2009 Top 100 list of the largest prime contractors.
