Under the software, networks, information, modeling and simulation (SNIM) technical area task (TAT), the company will provide research, analysis, development, prototyping, and experimentation to transition and maintain future systems for the air force and Joint C4ISR communities.

Specific tasks include information assurance, software data and analysis, modeling and simulation, knowledge management and information sharing.

Charles River Decision Management Systems Division senior scientist Brad Rosenberg said the company has grown to be able to uniquely satisfy the air force’s requirement for innovative C4ISR capabilities, especially for AFLCMC’s mission.

"Supporting this programme naturally extends from our prototyping of ISR collection management capabilities, through our support for command and control applications and information services development for the future air operations center weapon system (AOC WS), and beyond," Rosenberg said.
