QinetiQ North America has won a bid in the race to grow the unmanned military, announcing it had received an order from theDefense Department‘s anti-IED organization for more than 100 unmanned surveillance robots.
The micro units can deliver explosive charges and intend to provide smaller units and patrols with the ability to survey potentially hostile areas.
QinetiQ North America CEO Duane Andrewsspoke with GovConExec magazine about that technology’s place in his business for the CEO profile of our recent winter C4ISR issue.Andrews joined SAIC in 1993 after serving as Assistant Secretary of Defense for Command, Control, Communications and Intelligence which included the chief information officer position.
Andrews helped grow SAIC’s federal business over a dozen years from $1 billion to $8 billion as acquisitions dotted the firm’s transition “from a lab company to an IT services company,” Andrews told GovConExec.
Since taking the reins at QinetiQ NA in 1995, Andrews has been at the helm of close to 15 acquisitions and today, North American revenue accounts for around 60 percent of QinetiQ’s total.For more insight into Andrews’ management tools and what drives his business, check out the issue.
