Insights
This CRADA between CACI and West Point represents a strategic positioning move in the electronic warfare domain rather than an immediate revenue generator. By providing cadets access to their GRID technology stack, CACI creates a powerful pipeline for technology adoption and innovation.
The agreement highlights CACI's substantial electronic warfare capabilities - covering over 1,000 unique global signals and having deployed more than 2,000 EW systems globally. This positions the company as a dominant player in electromagnetic spectrum operations, a critical domain in modern warfare.
West Point's involvement brings academic rigor and fresh perspectives, allowing CACI to test their technology in educational environments before field deployment. This research partnership enables CACI to refine their GRID platform against emerging waveform threats without the constraints of operational deployment.
The five-year timeline suggests a substantive collaboration focused on long-term development rather than quick wins. This matches the evolving nature of electronic warfare threats, where software-defined radios create an ever-changing battlefield requiring continual innovation.
While the immediate financial impact appears minimal, the strategic value lies in positioning CACI's technology as the foundation for future Army EW operations by influencing those who will eventually make procurement decisions.
“This groundbreaking agreement provides the Academy with exclusive access to CACI's advanced EW technology stacks, offering valuable insights that can propel the Army’s capabilities into the future of digital signals processing,” said John Mengucci, CACI President and Chief Executive Officer. “CACI continues to adapt to the dynamic and growing EW threat landscape, as it has for more than two decades. Both CACI and the Army will reap significant benefits as we work together to continue to evolve this critical mission area.”
CACI, a leading signals intelligence (SIGINT) and EW technology provider to the Army and other government customers, has the largest signals threat coverage in the world and is unrivaled in collecting and countering more than 1,000 unique global signals today. CACI has designed and deployed this technology globally across more than 2,000 EW systems providing customers with the necessary capabilities to dominate the Electromagnetic Spectrum and maintain significant battlefield advantage in this critical warfighting domain.
As software-defined radios are becoming more prevalent in technology, the ability to create new waveforms will continue to rise. The Army must be able to rapidly detect and counter these waveforms from adversaries in real time to protect systems or attack adversary systems in the future. The first project under this CRADA will focus on extending the applicability of the GRID technology stack as developed for the Program Executive Office – Intelligence, Electronic Warfare & Sensors (PEO IEW&S). GRID, or GPU Radiofrequency IQ Dataplane, is a cutting-edge technology used by the Army for EW systems, enhancing real-time signal processing, threat detection, and electromagnetic spectrum dominance on the battlefield.
The Academy will bridge theory and practice by validating GRID data processing outside of a research lab and in the field. Cadets will test GRID firsthand by building Radio Frequency blocks to showcase its performance while also developing a modular framework and methods for extending GRID to support future waveforms. This hands-on experience will reinforce technical expertise in software-defined radio and EW applications and help shape the evolution of GRID for emerging operational needs.
By showcasing its innovations and capabilities, CACI aims to strengthen the pipeline of future SIGINT and EW operators while also improving relationships with future customers and partners to support ongoing national security mission objectives, while West Point provides input as a leader in military innovation and education.
Through this effort, CACI, working jointly with the USMA, will continue to drive innovation, expand technical impact, and deliver mission-critical solutions to support national defense.
