SAIC, SAN DIEGO and MCLEAN: Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) announced today that it has been awarded a contract by the Training Authority of the Egyptian Armed Forces for implementing Helicopter and Air Defense Upgrade (HADU) training enhancements for the two existing Egyptian Armed Forces Combat Training Centers (AFCTC), which previously were supplied by SAIC.  
 
The HADU upgrade will consist of instrumentation for both Apache and Gazelle helicopters to provide Global Positioning System tracking and laser- based Weapon Engagement Simulation training. The HADU contract also will instrument various Egyptian Army air defense weapons, allowing both ground air defense units and helicopter pilots to receive realistic air-to-ground and ground-to-air training during the AFCTC training rotations.  
 
“The HADU enhancement to the combat training centers will continue SAIC's long association with the Egyptian Training Authority and the AFCTC program,” said Telal Wassel, SAIC senior vice president and operations manager. “Beyond that, and most importantly, the HADU instrumentation system can help the Egyptian Army maintain and improve its readiness.”  
 
Work for this upgrade will be performed at SAIC in San Diego, Calif.; the Inter-Coastal Electronics (ICE) facility in Mesa, Ariz.; and the OSI Defense Systems facility in Orlando, Fla.  
 
SAIC is the largest employee-owned research and engineering company in the United States, with annual revenues of $7.2 billion and more than 43,000 employees in over 150 cities worldwide. SAIC engineers and scientists solve complex technical problems in national security, homeland security, energy, the environment, space, telecommunications, health care, and logistics.
