CSC estimates the value of the agreement, which has one base year and four one-year options, to be approximately $122 million if all options are exercised. CSC has supported the JTAMDO for the past five and a half years.

Approximately 45 senior analysts from CSC's Defense Mission Engineering and Integration division will perform the work at Crystal City, Va., and eight other CSC locations worldwide.

Members of the CSC team include Booz Allen Hamilton; SYColeman; Systems Planning and Analysis; Dynetics; Teledyne Brown Engineering; SDS International; ALION Science and Technology; Holmes-Tucker International; Advanced Defense Concepts; Paradigm Technologies; Cornerstone Industry and Touchstone Consulting Group.
