Logicon will provide advisory and assistance services to support the DTRA's mission to reduce the threat from weapons of mass destruction (WMD). The effort will provide wide-ranging support on critical agency issues, enhance the understanding and development of alternative solutions to complex objective areas, such as deterring the use of WMD, reducing the present threat to America of WMD, preparing for the future threat of WMD, and building relationships to ensure success.
Dr. Charles Stebbins, vice president-Research and Development Applications at Logicon, said the DTRA contract was one of the company's top priorities for 2000.
"Winning this recompeted contract allows us to retain and grow our in-depth knowledge of the operational and technical elements of many DTRA projects, and to expand our support activities into other DTRA functional areas such as arms control, chem/bio, and cooperative threat reduction," said Dr. Stebbins.
