CACI’s CORIAN™ Selected for the Defense Department’s C-sUAS Mission

Arlington, Va. - August 10, 2020 - (BUSINESS WIRE) - CACI International Inc (NYSE: CACI) announced today that the Army's Joint Counter-Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-sUAS) Office (JCO) has selected its CORIAN™ system to protect DoD personnel and facilities against threats from unmanned aircraft systems/drones.

DoD designated the Army JCO as the executive agent for C-sUAS to identify and prioritize shared gaps in technology and plans, and to work with industry to discern emerging technologies, address challenges, increase efficiencies, and promote competition in future technology development and procurement activities.

Out of the 40+ systems under consideration, DoD leadership selected CORIAN as one of three fixed/semi-fixed systems approved for use by the Department. The selection reaffirms CACI's position as a leader in the delivery of C-sUAS systems and solutions for the DoD.

The Department identified CACI's CORIAN C-sUAS solution as one of the fixed/Semi-fixed systems that provided “the best performance and capability mix during the assessment.” DoD's criteria for selecting systems for current use and future research and testing included system effectiveness, usability, sustainment, and integration.

CORIAN is a modular, scalable mission technology system which detects, identifies, tracks, and mitigates UAS threats using precision-neutralization techniques that ensure little to no collateral damage to the surrounding radio frequency (RF) spectrum and existing communications. CORIAN combines the industry's leading group 1-3 drone detection and mitigation ranges with DoD's most comprehensive, up-to-date C-sUAS signal library to keep pace with the growing and ever-changing threat.

John Mengucci, CACI President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “CACI looks forward to expanding our base of installed systems worldwide and continuing our support to the Defense Department with CORIAN for immediate use, future research and testing to counter UAS threats. As a market leader in counter-UAS, we are significantly expanding CACI's critical mission UAS technologies to best meet the ever-evolving operational needs of the DoD.”

CACI Executive Chairman and Chairman of the Board Dr. J.P. (Jack) London, said, “As a national security company, CACI continues to bring innovation and expertise to advance the military's critical C-sUAS capabilities and to equip and protect our warfighters around the world.”

CACI's 23,000 talented employees are vigilant in providing the unique expertise and distinctive technology that address our customers' greatest enterprise and mission challenges. Our culture of good character, innovation, and excellence drives our success and earns us recognition as a Fortune World's Most Admired Company.

    Boeing Australia collaborates on AI research for unmanned systems

    BRISBANE, Australia, Sept. 25, 2019 — Boeing [NYSE:BA] is partnering with Australia's Trusted Autonomous Systems Defence Cooperative Research Centre (DCRC) to develop advanced artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to create smarter unmanned systems for global forces. Embedding machine learning techniques on-board will help unmanned systems better understand and react to threat environments. “Over the next 12 months, Boeing Australia will design and test cognitive AI algorithms to enable sensing under anti-access conditions and to navigate and conduct enhanced tactics in denied environments,” said Dr. Shane Arnott, director of Phantom Works International. Boeing Australia's first innovation project with the DCRC will examine an unmanned system's route planning, location, and identification of objects and the platform's subsequent behavioural response. The DCRC for Trusted Autonomous Systems was announced by the Australian Government in 2017 to support the rapid creation and transition of industry-led trustworthy smart-machine technologies through the innovation ecosystem to the Australian Defence Force. “Together with Boeing, we are investing in advanced technology that can have real game-changing product outcomes for our military to match the evolving threats and achieve a sustainable autonomous industry for Australia,” said Professor Jason Scholz, chief executive officer of the DCRC for Trusted Autonomous Systems. Boeing will work with Australian university partners and Brisbane-based supplier RF Designs to flight-test and evaluate the capability with autonomous high performance jets. * The Trusted Autonomous Systems DCRC receives funding support from the Australian Government's Next Generation Technologies Fund and the Queensland Government's Advance Queensland initiative. # # # Contact: Melanie de Git Boeing Australia Mobile: +61 423 829 505 melanie.degit@boeing.com Trusted Autonomous Systems DCRC Phone: +61 7 3371 0524 info@tasdcrc.com.au View source version on Boeing : https://boeing.mediaroom.com/2019-09-24-Boeing-Australia-collaborates-on-AI-research-for-unmanned-systems#assets_20295_130508-117
