A team led by Science Applications International Corporation recently announced a contract award from the General Service Administration's ANSWER Program Office to provide distance learning support for the Joint Knowledge Development and Delivery Capability (JKDDC), a key Training Transformation (T2) initiative for the US Department of Defense, and to deliver it to members of the armed forces on a global, distributed basis. SAIC will manage the JKDDC contract from its offices in McLean, VA.

"Being selected by the JMO and GSA for this important contract is very significant for us," said Beverly J. Kitaoka, Senior Vice President and General Manager of SAIC's Training and Simulation Solutions Business Unit, part of SAIC's Transformation, Test, Training and Logistics Group. "We believe that SAIC's focus on accelerating the transformation of our armed forces, combined with our demonstrated ability to develop and deliver effective training anywhere in the world, will greatly assist the JMO in its mission of ensuring that our soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines have the best training possible, when and where they need it."

Members of the SAIC team include Camber Corporation of Huntsville, AL; Cornerstone Industry of Virginia Beach, VA; Professional Solutions, LLC of Alexandria, VA; ThoughtLink of Vienna, VA; EDO Corporation of Albany NY; and Dynamics Research Corporation of Waltham, MA.

Under the terms of the contract, SAIC and its teammates will conduct the research, development, production, integration, testing and delivery of distance learning-based education and training content for US armed forces around the world. This program will promote joint training initiatives and is a key component of the Joint National Training Capability.
