Engility has been awarded a $24 million Army intelligence contract.

The company will support the Army’s Tactical Exploitation of National Capabilities program, which gives lower-level Army units access to data from strategic-level national reconnaissance assets such as satellites. The contract, a recompete of an earlier contract awarded to Engility, has an eight-year base period plus four one-year options, according to a company news release.

“Our systems engineering knowledge, combined with insight into advanced science and technology and research and development initiatives within the intelligence community, has produced real-time cooperative data exchanges across the network of intelligence disciplines,” Engility CEO Lynn Dugle said. “As a result, we have been able to produce an abundance of courses of action for warfighter situational awareness.”
