SAIC will deliver OPNAV’s assessment division (N81) with a complete methodology and support a review process that assists in classifying the navy’s warfighting potential and capacity requirements.

Furthermore, the company will help identify short and long-term capacity and potential shortfalls or gaps, as well as quantitative / qualitative measures that seem appropriate to support value-based trades between different navy modules.

The OPNAV consists of the Chief of Naval Operations, the senior military officer in the US Department of the Navy and the principal naval adviser to the secretary of the navy, as well as the president on the conduct of war and a subordinate staff.
