Deployed in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other parts of the world, the U.S. Army’s BAT is a portable, networked system that uses fingerprints, iris patterns, and facial geometry to uniquely identify individuals. SAIC has been a key integrator, developer, and operational supporter of BAT since 2003. Under a new contract, SAIC is expanding its role in pro- viding in-country Army and Marine Corps units with dedicated 24/7 support, including system, database, and network administration, as well as on-site training and logistics administration. Logistics and Product Support. A leader in integrated supply and logistics support services for the U.S. government, SAIC manages the supply chain of chemicals and packaged petro- leum, oils, and lubricants for the Department of Defense (DoD). For another important project, SAIC is providing engineering and integration services to upgrade the Air Force’s air traffic control radio systems. Global Positioning System Support. SAIC leads the systems engineering and integration effort necessary to develop, operate, and maintain the U.S. Global Positioning System. Some of the services SAIC provides include integration management, program certifications, and risk management for the Global Positioning Systems Wing, a joint service effort directed by the U.S. Air Force. Predator Operations Centers. SAIC also provides 24/7 technical support to U.S. Air Force Predator Operations Centers. For the newest version of the unmanned Predator – which carries Hellfire missiles and multiple GBU-12 laser-guided bombs – the SAIC team engineered technical solutions and installed audio and video equipment between the operations center and ground control stations. SAIC’s work provided aircrew members and decision-makers with real-time video for hundreds of combat missions. Senior systems engineer James Moratis supports the Analytical Laboratory System (ALS), a C-130 air transportable system that can analyze chemical and biological warfare agents. The ALS is designed to establish communications through the Unified Command Suite to local, state, and federal laboratories. 6 N a t i o n a l S e c u r i t y 9 Understanding the impact of energy on citizens and businesses, SAIC energy experts have helped oil and gas customers reduce costs, streamline operations, and increase effectiveness. Project Manager Lanny Herrel and his team provided turnkey services for a distillate hydrotreater unit that produces ultra-low sulfur diesel at Holly Corp.’s Woods Cross Refinery in Utah. Renewable Energy. SAIC played a major role in helping a small Canadian community become the first solar community in North America. The 52-home Drake Landing Solar Community in Okotoks, Alberta, uses a solar-thermal design concept that SAIC Canada helped to create. The system uses the summer sun to heat water and stores it underground for reuse in the winter. Currently, these homes derive about 80 percent of their heat in the winter from solar energy collected during the summer. The remaining percentage is produced from conventional natural gas. In addition to solar collectors on the garages, each home has a discrete solar collection system on its roof that provides about 60 percent of household hot water. Recognized as the “greenest community in Canada, maybe the world” by the Canadian prime minister, Drake Landing was built with the help of a team from both the public and private sectors, and partially funded by the government. Leading the Way in Energy Efficiency. To boost its design/build and energy capabilities, SAIC acquired Benham, which is helping customers in a variety of industries reduce energy demand and improve energy efficiency. For one industrial customer, Boral Bricks, Benham is taking an energy-intensive brickmaking process and making it more efficient through the use of otherwise wasted gas from a nearby landfill, burning locally available waste peanut hulls for energy, and designing new burner technologies. In addition, SAIC’s analysts and engineers have helped evaluate hundreds of energy efficiency programs for clients, including the states of New York, Wisconsin, and Oregon. Alternative Fuels. Biofuels have great potential to lessen our dependency on fossil fuels, while providing an environmentally friendly renew- able energy source. SAIC is helping lead the way in this market through the Lake Erie bio- fuels facility project, providing comprehensive design/build services for a state-of-the-art plant in Pennsylvania. With construction complete and the plant startup in process, the Lake Erie biofuels facility is designed to produce biodiesel from multiple feedstock sources. Digital Oilfields. As mature energy fields decline and new discoveries become harder to find and more challenging to operate, oil and gas companies are seeking new ways to maximize the value of their assets. SAIC is helping oil and gas customers design and implement digital oilfields, using technology to measure, model, and predict the behavior of the producing asset to make better decisions about increasing oil and gas production. To enhance the services it delivers to energy customers, SAIC acquired Scicom Technologies Private Limited, which provides on-site and offshore hydrocarbon exploration product development services. Headquartered in New Delhi, India, Scicom helps position SAIC to become a major provider of data-centric customer services in the upstream oil and gas market. Project Manager Rich Mitchell and his Benham team helped design and build a new energy-efficient manufacturing plant in Terre Haute, Ind., for Boral Bricks, the largest manufac- turer and distribu- tor of clay brick in the United States. 8 E n e r g y E n e r g y 9 Environment Environment Senior scientist Bill Samuels led an Senior scientist Bill Samuels led an SAIC team that developed ICWater, SAIC team that developed ICWater, an incident command tool that helps an incident command tool that helps government agencies better track government agencies better track the sources of contamination to the sources of contamination to public water supplies. public water supplies. SAIC’s environmental work spans a wide variety of programs for both government and commercial clients, such as working with the Climate Registry to help develop protocols for a common greenhouse gas emissions reporting system. Environmental Services. For more than 10 years, SAIC has provided the full range of environmental services to the Air Force Center for Engineering and the Environment (AFCEE). The AFCEE recently awarded SAIC an eight- year prime contract to administer, coordinate, and technically support environmental, military construction, military family housing, and facility sustainment, restoration, and modernization programs of interest to the government at locations in the United States and overseas. In addition, the NASA Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio, awarded SAIC a contract to provide environmental and safety support services to facility-wide operations. SAIC has been on site supporting this center for more than 10 years at its Lewis Field in Cleveland and Plum Brook Station in Sandusky, Ohio. SAIC’s environmental efforts include support for demolishing, constructing, and rehabilitating 65 buildings at the two locations under a 20-year site master plan. SAIC also will help NASA design new buildings with Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) green building standards. LEED is the U.S. Green Building Council’s standard for green building design and maintenance. E n v i r o n m e n t 11 To help predict weather patterns, SAIC supports the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Tropical Atmosphere Ocean (TAO) Program. The TAO array consists of approximately 70 moored buoys in the tropical Pacific Ocean, telemetering oceanographic and meteorological data to shore in real time via the Argos satellite system. the company sent two of its climate change experts to the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Bali, Indonesia, in December 2007, as part of the California delegation. There, they gave presentations on voluntary carbon offsets in the U.S. market and the standardization of greenhouse gas inventory standards across local and international governments. This effort would require development of computer standards for sharing inventory information without requiring translation among monitoring organizations. SAIC was selected by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Climate Change Division for a program for technical and outreach support services for domestic and global climate initiatives and global climate change programs. In addition, SAIC provides a wide range of climate change services, including policy development, strategic planning, energy management, and infrastructure planning, to help government and commercial clients address these issues. Courtesy NOAA’s National Data Buoy Center Protecting Drinking Water. To better protect the nation’s drinking water, SAIC helped develop an incident command tool called ICWater that calculates time of travel and concentration of contaminants affecting public water supplies. The tool is designed to make critical information rapidly available to incident commanders who would direct first responders during a chemical, biological, or radiological attack on a drinking water source. ICWater also offers a forensics capability to track down the sources of contamination. Climate Change Services. The Climate Registry is not only a client; SAIC joined it this year as a founding member. The Climate Registry is a collaboration among 39 U.S. states and the District of Columbia, six Canadian provinces, two Mexican states, and several North American Indian tribes to measure and publicly report greenhouse gas emissions in a common manner. SAIC is also a member of the California Climate Action Registry, and, as a member, 12 E n v i r o n m e n t Critical Infrastructure Critical Infrastructure Lab Manager Lloyd Thomas supports SAIC’s All-Terrain VACIS Lab Manager Lloyd Thomas supports SAIC’s All-Terrain VACIS inspection system, a mobile system that extends inspection inspection system, a mobile system that extends inspection capabilities to hostile or difficult-to-access areas. capabilities to hostile or difficult-to-access areas. Whether it’s protecting ports and borders, managing and securing IT systems, or building test facilities for NASA missions, SAIC provides technical and engineering support to a wide range of government and commercial customers. Another version of SAIC’s VACIS, the P7500 inspection system, scans up to 150 cargo containers per hour. Protecting Commerce While Moving It Quickly. SAIC is a leading provider of effective, compact, nonintrusive cargo inspection systems. Hundreds of our VACIS systems have successfully performed around the world. The technology, which includes SAIC’s vanguard VACIS P7500 X-ray inspection system, is helping U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) authorities scan high volumes of cargo containers for weapons, explosives, and other threats before they enter U.S. borders. The system produces high-resolution digital images of the contents of containers for online analysis. A single system can scan up to 150 containers per hour with minimal impact on the flow of commerce. Improving Aviation Safety. SAIC is helping the Federal Aviation Admin- istration deploy a crucial component of the next-generation air transporta- tion system. The technology, Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broad- cast, will help change the nation’s air traffic control system from one that relies on radar technology to a system that uses precise location data from the global satellite network. The goal is to improve aviation safety, capac- ity, and efficiency by providing pilots and air-traffic controllers with reliable, accurate, real-time surveillance information for aircraft and surface vehicles. Facilities for Moon and Mars Missions. To support development of spacecraft for the Orion and Constellation programs to send people to the moon and then to Mars, NASA selected SAIC to design, engineer, and build two testing facilities. The two facilities include the highest intensity acoustic facility of its size and one of the largest, most powerful vibration test facilities ever built. SAIC also is designing a new high-speed data acquisition system to collect, correlate, and analyze testing data from these two facilities. Cybersecurity. For years, SAIC has helped government and commercial customers protect their information technology (IT) systems from cyber-threats. SAIC’s patent-pending cyberde- fense trainer is a self-contained, cost-effective training system that enables IT personnel to re- hearse on training systems that present realistic, live attack scenarios against hosts and network devices that mirror their own IT infrastructure. Integrated Services Management Center. Located in Oak Ridge, Tenn., SAIC’s Integrated Services Management Center provides IT enterprise management services to support federal agency and commercial customers worldwide. For example, SAIC has provided help desk support for Regal Entertainment Group since December 2000. With more than 600 theaters across the United States and more than 6,000 screens, Regal is the largest theater chain in America. SAIC’s flexibility and scalability have helped Regal through five successful mergers. Today, Regal enjoys a fully standardized point- of-sale environment featuring state-of- the-art technology. Service Desk Manager Susan Haynor is responsible for managing and delivering service desk IT support for Regal Entertainment, the largest theater chain in America. 14 C r i t i c a l I n f r a s t r u c t u r e C r i t i c a l I n f r a s t r u c t u r e 15 Health Health Deputy Director Anil Patri, left, and scientist Deputy Director Anil Patri, left, and scientist Jiwen Zheng support NCI’s Nanotechnology Jiwen Zheng support NCI’s Nanotechnology Characterization Laboratory, which helped Characterization Laboratory, which helped develop the first reference standards for nano- develop the first reference standards for nano- scale particles used in biomedical research. scale particles used in biomedical research. From cancer research to vaccine development to electronic records management, SAIC helps local, state, federal, and international public health organizations secure the health of the nation and the world. Joy Beveridge manages an NCI pilot program exploring ways to deliver the latest research- based cancer treatment closer to the homes of rural and inner-city patients. Biomedical Research. SAIC scientists work for the National Cancer Institute at Frederick (NCI-Frederick) to assist in important discoveries and develop new cures for cancer and AIDS. SAIC-Frederick Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of SAIC, has operated NCI’s national laboratory for cancer and AIDS research since 1995. In 2007, SAIC researchers developed and manufactured prototypes of three new drugs for ovarian cancer; developed and manufactured a drug to make melanoma (skin cancer) and other cancers more responsive to chemotherapy; and discovered new markers for prostate and breast cancers that can help predict genetic risk, suggest new treatment approaches, and help identify gene mutations that cause these diseases. In addition, SAIC researchers discovered a set of genes that helps explain why some people infected with the AIDS virus get sick right away while others can live symptom-free for 10 years or more. This discovery could focus aggressive treatment on patients with the vulnerable gene set, while sparing those with the protective genes from the aggressive regimen and its side effects. H e a l t h 17 Research assistant Myla Spencer of SAIC-Frederick sets up a high-throughput DNA sequencing reaction in the Laboratory of Molecular Technology at the National Cancer Institute at Frederick. This highly efficient method of DNA sequencing is used to identify genetic changes that can cause cancer. Malaria Vaccine. According to worldwide estimates, more than 1 million people – mostly infants, young children, and pregnant women – die from malaria each year. To assist the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), SAIC established a virtual company consisting of more than 20 subcontractors to manufacture, test, and obtain regulatory ap- proval for human trials of two malaria vaccines. SAIC has supported NIAID’s work since 2000. Connecting Caregivers. For nearly 20 years, SAIC has supported the health care mission of the Department of Defense around the world, helping to improve the efficiency, delivery, and quality of care to military personnel and veter- ans. For example, SAIC is helping to enable the exchange of medical records between DoD and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) medi- cal facilities. SAIC’s work on the Bidirectional Health Information Exchange (BHIE) enables the secure exchange of health data for patients who receive care at both DoD and VA health centers. Providers in both agencies may access and view data on patient demographics, allergies, laboratory results, radiology reports, outpatient pharmacy requirements, and discharge sum- maries. Through our work on the BHIE Inpatient Data Sharing Initiative, providers also have access to patient history and physical reports, operation reports, and inpatient consults, result- ing in improved care for wounded warriors. Protecting the Food Supply. SAIC helped to develop a methodology that the U.S. Depart- ment of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspec- tion Service is proposing to use as the basis for its new Public Health Risk-Based Inspection system. Upon implementation, the methodolo- gy will allow the agency to attribute food-borne illness caused by a variety of microbial patho- gens to specific types of food products. The proposed new inspection system is designed to improve the agency’s ability to prevent food- borne illness in the United States and help limit the need for food product recalls. 18 H e a l t h Technology and Innovation Systems engineer Christy O’Loughlin led an SAIC team that developed a hand-held biometrics system for the Coast Guard to better identify those attempting to enter the United States illegally. From national security to medical research, SAIC employees use their domain expertise and innovation to help customers solve their biggest technical challenges. SAIC employees demonstrate TAC-BIO, a small, innovative, low-power biosensor they are helping the U.S. Army develop. Low-Cost, Low-Power Biological Detector. Working with the U.S. Army’s Edgewood Chemical Biological Center (ECBC), SAIC is helping develop a tactical biological (TAC-BIO) detector that drastically reduces the cost, size, and power requirements of the bioagent detection units currently available. TAC-BIO was used to collect data for a DHS background testing campaign and also is being tested as part of the Expeditionary Biological Detection Advanced Technology Demonstration. Historically, the requirements for this kind of system have been outside the boundaries for low-cost, low-power, lightweight detectors that could be deployed as disposable detection devices, according to the ECBC. TAC-BIO offers the potential for a detect-to-warn capability against biological aerosol attacks. Biometrics at Sea. The U.S. Coast Guard now has the ability to better identify immigrants attempting to enter the United States illegally, thanks to SAIC’s software integration and biometrics expertise. When a Coast Guard cutter intercepts a boat, Coast Guard personnel electronically fingerprint and digitally photograph each migrant using a commercial off- the-shelf hand-held device and check the information against the US-VISIT database. The system was deployed successfully for a pilot program in the Mona Pass – a 90-mile stretch of water between the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico – where the Coast Guard encounters about half of those it interdicts attempting to enter the country illegally. As a result, the SAIC-created Biometrics- at-Sea: Mona Passage Proof of Concept won the Coast Guard’s prestigious 2007 Captain Niels P. Thomsen Innovation Award. Tsunami Detection Buoy. Since the devastating Sumatra tsunami in December 2004, SAIC has been developing and testing a dependable system that meets international requirements. SAIC was licensed by NOAA to build Deep-ocean Assessment and Reporting of Tsunami (DART) systems to provide early warning detection of tsunamis and is scheduled to deliver the first tsunami detection buoy to Australia’s Bureau of Meteorology. Cutting-Edge Medical Research. SAIC-Frederick operates the National Cancer Institute’s Core Genotyping Facility, which has identified new genetic markers for prostate cancer and breast cancer. These discoveries are among the first major cancer findings to come from the Human Genome Project, which was completed in 2003. The lab is scanning the entire human genotypes of thousands of men and women with cancer and thousands of control individuals to zero in on gene variants associated with the diseases. The program aims to identify genetic alterations that make people susceptible to prostate and breast cancer. The project takes advantage of data from the Human Genome Project and new knowledge of human genetic variation. SAIC researchers supporting this project are using the latest advances in ultra-high-throughput genotyping. Dr. Jack Collins displays a computer system he developed for the National Cancer Institute that uses a series of graphic processors for tackling drug design problems, such as screening hundreds of thousands of candidate drug molecules. Each candidate drug now can be screened in minutes instead of the hour it used to take using a more expensive computer cluster. 20 T e c h n o l o g y a n d I n n o v a t i o n T e c h n o l o g y a n d I n n o v a t i o n 21 SAIC in the Community Senior network engineer Scott Kennedy works with students in the Cyber Defense Challenge. Business unit General Manager Bill Gurley stands beside the Saturn V rocket he helped preserve in Huntsville. Across the company, our employees actively participate in many community activities, including programs to encourage science and technology students, preserve historical landmarks, promote diversity, and support our troops and their families. Teaching Cybersecurity and Robotics. Because SAIC is first and foremost a science and engineering company, we do all that we can to promote these technical disciplines to future generations. For example, we recently hosted the Cyber Defense Challenge, a new competition to inspire students to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Sponsored by the San Diego Chapter of the National Defense Industrial Association, the three-month-long event featured teams of computer science students from San Diego area high schools and universities who tested their ability to defend against today’s cyberattacks. In Virginia, SAIC sponsors students participating in robot-building con- tests that team high school students with industry professionals to solve engineering design problems in an intense and competitive environment. Restoring the Saturn V Rocket. Huntsville, Ala., is home to the world’s first Saturn V rocket, which languished outdoors for 28 years at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center and had become home to several varieties of nesting birds and at least one family of raccoons. To conserve and restore this historic workhorse of the U.S. space program, SAIC’s Bill Gurley led a successful fundraising campaign, co-chaired with former Apollo moonwalk astronaut Buzz Aldrin. Today, the restored giant is housed in a new 68,200-square-foot environmentally controlled building. Owned by the Smithsonian Institute, this Saturn V rocket was designed and built in Huntsville by Marshall Space Flight Center engineers as the Pathfinder predecessor to all Saturn V vehicles that were built and flown during the Apollo missions. Supporting Small Business and Diversity. The Small Business Administration presented SAIC with the Dwight D. Eisenhower Award for Excellence in the research and development category, recognizing our commitment to using small businesses as subcontractors and suppliers. The White House Initiative for Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) recognized SAIC for its outstanding work in providing subcontracting opportunities to HBCUs. Saluting Our Troops. When the Washington Redskins kicked off their 2007/2008 season, SAIC was there, kicking off a season-long campaign to honor and support America’s military men and women. SAIC joined the Redskins in Operation Salute Our Troops to continue the company’s long- standing support of the men and women of the Armed Forces. A component of this effort, Charity Challenge, helped draw attention to charities dedicated to helping the troops. Students compete in a robotics competition.
