The extension adds $1.5 million, bringing the total contract value to $31 million, and expands SciTec's ongoing efforts to deliver the operational data fusion system that enhances command-and-control warfighting capabilities for mission partners. Under this contract expansion, SciTec will expand its current data fusion system by adding additional approved counter-UAS sensor data sources. This expanded data layer supports improved situational awareness and decision-making for mission partners. "This expansion underscores the critical role SciTec's data fusion system plays in the Cloud-Based Command and Control ecosystem," said David Simenc, SciTec's President. "As new mission needs arise, our scalable architecture is already designed to rapidly integrate additional sensors and data types to strengthen warfighter decision making." CBC2 remains a central component of the Department of the Air Force Battle Network and supports the Combined Joint All Domain Command and Control vision. By continuously integrating new data sources and tools into the CBC2 system, SciTec and the Air Force are accelerating the pace at which modern battle management capabilities can be delivered to the operational edge.
