About SAIC
A nationally recognized leader in public safety and homeland security, SAIC draws on thousands of experienced staff members in disciplines ranging from vulnerability assessment to infrastructure protection to emergency response. We have extensive experience with the component agencies of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and have worked hand in hand with our agency customers to meet their important training, technical, and strategic requirements. Our success in integrating many different agency systems and networks is a key reason why we were chosen to integrate the data network connecting all 22 agencies of the DHS.
GTSC’s mentor companies work with the small and mid-sized companies in the Coalition to partner and bring the innovation, ideas and agility of small business to the experience, infrastructure and resources of large companies. GTSC mentors join us to provide advice and counsel on the convergence of homeland and national security, find new and innovative teaming partners, address challenges in the prime/subcontractor relationship in a neutral environment and improve mentor/protégé communication and success. Both our large and small companies recognize that the best security for our citizens – both physically and economically — is derived from the ability of our markets to meet the challenges posed by terrorism, natural disasters, and criminal activity. www.saic.com
