CACI International Inc. announced that it was awarded a seven-year single-award indefinite delivery indefinite quantity (IDIQ) mission technology contract, called Spectral, with a $1.2 billion ceiling for the U.S. Navy’s Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (NAVWAR).
“We are proud the U.S. Navy selected CACI to develop and deploy the next-generation of shipboard signals intelligence and electronic warfare capabilities,” said John Mengucci, CACI President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our strategy to invest ahead of customer need sets us apart from our competition and allows us to provide the most advanced technology, enabled by software, at the speed of ever-accelerating threats. We are honored to support the Navy to ensure dominance in all environments and against all adversaries.”
The Navy’s Spectral mission is to provide rapid capability enhancements for tactical mission operations. On the Spectral contract, CACI and its teammates will utilize its industry-leading software development and electromagnetic spectrum capabilities to develop and deploy the Navy’s next-generation shipboard signals intelligence (SIGINT), electronic warfare (EW), and information operations (IO) weapon systems. CACI’s open-architecture approach will provide the Navy with cutting edge tools and capabilities enabled by continuous software enhancement to support the Navy’s desire for rapid, informed, and accurate decision-making.
Todd Probert, President of National Security and Innovative Solutions at CACI, said, “We will use our decades of innovative software experience, world-class Agile software development, and DevSecOps to converge SIGINT, Cyber and EW into scalable, networked, and distributed warfighting capabilities that outpace evolving threats.”

Elementary, Mr. Watson: Rein in Your Design Constraints
07/10/2025 | John Watson -- Column: Elementary, Mr. WatsonI remember the long hours spent at the light table, carefully laying down black tape to shape each trace, cutting and aligning pads with surgical precision on sheets of Mylar. I often went home with nicks on my fingers from the X-Acto knives and bits of tape all over me. It was as much an art form as it was an engineering task—tactile and methodical, requiring the patience of a sculptor. A lot has changed in PCB design over the years.
Stop Using Spreadsheets—and You Can Quote Me on That
07/03/2025 | Nolan Johnson, SMT007 MagazineMeeting changing business needs and a thriving market sometimes means process efficiencies. Not all those efficiency improvements take place on the shop floor, however. For EMS companies, growth can also mean changing out the business operations software to have one more chance to close a business deal that better aligns with the company’s sweet spot. One of the pressing issues for EMS companies is the great deal of attention on sales and quoting software solutions and how to make them perform better. Chintan Sutaria, the founder and former CEO of CalcuQuote now working on other projects at OpenJar, explains.
