The Domestic Nuclear Detection Office within the Department of Homeland Security has awarded Chantilly, Va.-based TASC Inc. task orders worth as much as $54 million to provide systems engineering and other services.
“Our goal is to support the DNDO with assessments of the operational employment, technical capabilities and performance levels of its systems before they are deployed in the field," Bruce Phillips, TASC vice president of infrastructure protection, said in a release announcing the contract Tuesday.
The company will provide mission analysis, systems engineering, testing, modeling and simulation for three directorates within DNDO.
According to DHS, DNDO is the primary government entity devoted to domestic nuclear detection. It also integrates the federal nuclear forensics programs and helps coordinate the global nuclear detection and reporting architecture.
