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