MCLEAN, Va.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– August 02, 2013 – Booz Allen Hamilton today announced it has now won four of the Full and Open Pillar contracts involving a range of full system lifecycle support activities for the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Atlantic (SCC Atlantic). Most recently, the firm won a contract with a total ceiling of nearly $900 million to support the integrated cybersecurity and Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance (C4ISR) operations of the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Atlantic (SCC Atlantic).

The competitive ID/IQ contract has an initial one-year period of performance, with four, one-year options that could extend the work through July 2018.

“Innovation and adaptability lead the next chapter of cybersecurity, which means it’s absolutely vital that we leverage our technical and engineering expertise to help SSC Atlantic meet the challenges of the 21st century,” said Rene Castro, Senior Vice President, Booz Allen Hamilton. “We are eager, along with our large and small business partners on the contract, to advance SSC Atlantic’s objectives with the most innovative, tailored cybersecurity and C4ISR solutions.”

Booz Allen, which claims to be a leader in the cybersecurity and C4ISR communities, has been a partner of SSC Atlantic for more than 20 years.
