Salient CRGT awarded $22.6M contract from Department
of Homeland Security to improve border technologies
FAIRFAX, VA – October 12, 2016
- Salient CRGT, Inc., a leading provider
of worldwide training development
and delivery, Agile software
development, data analytics, mobility,
cyber security, and infrastructure
solutions, today announced a
prime contract award from
the Department of Homeland
Security (DHS) Science
and Technology
Directorate (S&T), to
provide development,
integration and evaluation
in support of Borders
& Maritime Research, Integration
and Transition Environments
(BorderRITE). This five-year
effort is valued at approximately
$22.6 million.
The objective of BorderRITE is
to provide two environments that
seamlessly work together to help
secure the Nation’s borders. Salient
CRGT fills the gap between vendor
testing and pilot programs by
development systems and creating
environments to evaluate emerging
technologies and transition them
into operational use. The company
will build and maintain these environments
and help S&T identify
new technologies.
Created by Congress in 2003 with
the formation of the Department of
Homeland Security, S&T is DHS’s
primary research and development
(R&D) arm. S&T manages science
and technology research, from development
through transition, for
the department’s operational
components and the nation’s
first responders.
S&T’s mission is to deliver
effective and innovative
insight, methods
and solutions for
the critical needs of the
Homeland Security Enterprise.
“Our partnership with DHS Science
and Technology Directorate
aligns with our company focus on
innovation,” says Brad Antle, CEO
of Salient CRGT. “Our Innovation
Centers focus on identifying and
testing new technologies to improve
our customers’ efficiency and
threat posture. This effort picks up
where manufacturers’ and vendors’
product testing ends. Evaluating
technologies in a real-world environment
will inform DHS S&T’s
decision making about significant
technology investments and save
the agency time and money.”
