Headquartered in San Diego with more than 100 employees, Icons capabilities include expertise in Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System (MILES) and Tactical Engagement Simulation System (TESS) technologies for individual combatant and platform live training.

Icon will function as an operation within SAICs Analysis, Simulations, Systems, Engineering and Training business unit, and will operate under the continuing leadership of Himanshu Parikh, Icons co-founder and chief executive officer.

"This acquisition represents a significant step toward our goal to advance our live training offerings," said Beverly Seay, SAIC senior vice president and business unit general manager.  "The need for this type of simulated training will continue to grow across the military services because it is critical to preparing the warfighter for success in combat.  This is a solid strategic move that gives us significant opportunities to help our customers -- both national and international -- enhance warfighter readiness and effectiveness."
