Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) was founded by J. Robert Beyster, Ph.D., and a small group of scientists in 1969.  SAIC and its subsidiaries now have more than 44,000 employees with offices in over 150 cities worldwide.  SAIC is a leading provider of scientific, engineering, systems integration and technical services and products to all branches of the U.S. military, agencies of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), the intelligence community, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and other U.S. Government civil agencies, as well as to customers in selected commercial markets.

The Security and Transportation Technology (S&TT) Business Unit is headquartered in Rancho Bernardo, Calif. just north of San Diego.  S&TT is one of the few SAIC business units that offers products as well as solutions directly to government and commercial clients (see www.saic.com/products/security ).  S&TT’s product selection includes VACIS® gamma ray and high-energy inspection systems, sensing and classification systems, and railway and road systems.  Additionally, S&TT offers a wide range of integrated intermodal solutions that integrate these and other products for many applications in a variety of environments across a broad spectrum of customers. S&TT is currently providing products and solutions for customs authorities, shipping and trucking companies, port and terminal operators, U.S. and foreign military, emergency first responders, law enforcement agencies, and all sectors of the transportation industry. 

S&TT has facilities in several cities around the world.  The tour of Rancho Bernardo will include the new product development center for the cargo inspection products.  The tour will start with a brief conference room session to introduce the facility, product line, and safety and other requirements (no cameras, please).  We will then proceed through the building discussing ongoing work, ending up at the test lane in the rear of the facility.  Here the group will see several new or existing cargo inspection products at or near completion, including the Mobile VACIS, Military Mobile VACIS, the VACIS P7500, and more. 

The meeting location is at 16550 Rancho Bernardo Drive, San Diego, 92127.  SAIC is in Building #5, located at the rear of the site (see map).  Parking is allowed anywhere on the north side of the building and is free.
