The US Navy has awarded a $18m modification contract to CACI Technologies to provide engineering and technical support services for the ship self-defence system (SSDS).
Under the contract, the company will also provide training, software, project and logistics services, and products necessary to support the SSDS at shore sites, land-based test facilities, shipyards, and aboard ships in ports and at sea.
The SSDS combat system, consisting of software and commercial off-the-shelf applications integrates radar systems with anti-air weapons, both hardkill missile and rapid fire gun systems and softkill decoys and coordinates all of the existing sensors and weapons systems aboard a ship.
Capable of providing an integrated detect-through-engage capability, the defence system enhances target tracking by integrating the inputs from several different sensors to form a composite track.
