Science Applications International Corporation, commonly branded as SAIC, is a public U.S. contractor focused on integrating technology into government and defense missions. Its current business is organized around defense and intelligence customers as well as civilian agencies, with offerings that include digital engineering, mission systems support, training and simulation, ground-vehicle support, and undersea-domain work.

The SAIC name carries a complicated corporate history. The original company was founded by J. Robert Beyster in 1969, then split in 2013: Leidos became the renamed former parent, while the technical, engineering, and enterprise IT services business became an independent publicly traded company that retained the SAIC name. In this catalog, SAIC appears through the Mark 48 heavyweight torpedo supply chain, where company releases and naval reporting identify SAIC work on Mod 7 afterbody tailcones, MK29 warshot fuel tanks, and related production support.
