COBRA gives military commands flexibility to modernize existing systems across the Combined Joint All-Domain Command and Control (CJADC2) ecosystem. For example, combatant commands like Indo-Pacific Command can use COBRA to deliver technological innovation for mission requirements. This enables rapid system development and inclusion in military exercises for evaluation and improvement.

“COBRA highlights the urgent need to deliver integrated, all-domain capabilities to our warfighters,” said Vincent DiFronzo, executive vice president of Air Force and Combatant Commands business group. “SAIC will use our proven experience, speed, and flexibility to fast-track warfighting technologies from concept to combat. With rigorous execution, we will rapidly deliver next-gen capabilities that accelerate decision superiority, strengthen readiness and enhance lethality.”

Fueled by SAIC mission integration and a commitment to open “plug and play” solutions that avoid vendor lock, COBRA will help military commands respond more quickly to urgent and emerging operational requirements. SAIC will securely integrate all-domain (sea, land, air, space and cyber) data to enhance global combat effects. These efforts will include digital engineering and new system development for CJADC2, modeling and simulation, rapid prototyping and Quick-Reaction Capabilities (QRCs), testing, evaluation, user Concept of Operations (CONOPS), data analytics, modernization in unmanned systems and cybersecurity, and more.

“This $1.4 billion COBRA award demonstrates the importance of technology-enabled decision superiority and mission outcomes for our customers,” said Chief Technology Officer Bob Ritchie. “SAIC is proud to be a trusted mission integration partner of America’s warfighters innovating at the speed of mission need, now and in the future.”

Effective January 31, 2026, the company’s five current business groups will be consolidated into three. The current Army and Navy business groups will be combined into a new Army Navy Business Group (ANG) and the Air Force & Combatant Commands, and the Space and Intelligence business groups will become the Air Force, Space and Intelligence Business Group (AFSI). The Civilian Business Group will remain in its present form.

As part of the organizational realignment, SAIC will restructure its Chief Innovation Office to ensure closer alignment with its business groups and the markets it serves.

The three consolidated business groups will be led by current SAIC executive vice presidents. Barbara Supplee will lead ANG, Vinnie DiFronzo will lead AFSI, and Srini Attili will continue to lead the Civilian Business Group. Josh Jackson, executive vice president, Army, and David Ray, executive vice president, Space and Intelligence, along with chief innovation officer Lauren Knausenberger, will depart SAIC to pursue other opportunities.

The TENCAP mission is designed to bridge the longstanding gap between high-level space and intelligence systems and frontline warfighter operations. By leveraging existing national capabilities—including satellite-derived data and Title 50 resources—TENCAP seeks to enhance situational awareness, reduce decision latency, and enable more agile responses to dynamic threat environments.

“Through TENCAP HOPE 2.0, the Air Force is advancing a critical mission: ensuring the power of our national space assets are accessible and operationally relevant for those at the tip of the spear,” said Shubhi Mishra, founder and CEO of Raft. “Together with SAIC, Raft is honored to deliver new era defense technology, secure platforms, and unified data architectures that enable a unified joint force from space to the tactical edge.”

Under the TENCAP HOPE 2.0 award, Raft will deliver a suite of enabling technologies that enhance the Air Force’s ability to operationalize national space-based intelligence. This includes the Raft Data Platform ([R]DP), a unified data translation layer that fuses space-derived and other national sources into a coherent, real-time operational picture; the Raft Application Platform ([R]AP), a secure, DevSecOps-ready environment designed for the rapid deployment of mission-critical applications across all classification levels; and agile, modular architectures built to support IL2 through IL6+ environments—ensuring secure, scalable integration of emerging capabilities at the speed of relevance.

This award underscores the Department of the Air Force’s commitment to harnessing commercial innovation and modern engineering practices to advance joint all-domain operations. TENCAP HOPE 2.0 is a vital step in enabling faster, more informed decision-making in increasingly complex battle spaces—where the ability to act on space-derived intelligence in real-time can provide a decisive advantage.
