A contract specific to the creation of a next-generation global data-mining and intelligence-analysis system was awarded Friday (May 20) to Science Applications International Corp. (SAIC). Other than revealing that SAIC received a $14 million award related to Insight, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) did not disclose any contract details other than the solicitation number (#DARPA-BAA-10-94), the contract award number (#HR0011-11-C-0047), SAIC's corporate name and McLean, Va. address, and a DARPA point of contact (Dr. Benjamin Cutler, [email protected]).
SAIC similarly is keeping quiet about the contract, insofar as it did not announce this contract award via the corporate website.
As U.S. Trade & Aid Monitor reported on Friday (May 20), DARPA last week issued a call to industry for innovative ideas leading to the creation of an advanced “‘plug and play’ modular architecture” of intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance, or ISR, technologies. The newly unveiled Insight Focused Incubator initiative is the latest phase of DARPA's Insight project launched last year, but is listed under a separate solicitation number (#DARPA-SN-11-36).
