Present during the opening ceremony was Toni Townes-Whitley, CEO of SAIC, who afterward said regarding the new facility, “This space—complete with 10,000 square feet of vehicle and platform integration space—represents more than just a building. It symbolizes our continued investment in supporting our U.S. Army customers at the speed of mission.”
“It was an honor to stand alongside our APG team, Army leaders, partners, and community members to officially cut the ribbon and open the doors to what we know will be a hub for innovation, collaboration and impact,” Townes-Whitley, a two-time Wash100 Award winner, added.
Josh Jackson’s Comments About the Facility
For his part, SAIC Army Business Group Executive Vice President Josh Jackson said the new facility is “built to accelerate the Army’s vision for C5ISR modernization, from integrating AI into mission systems to advancing orchestration tools that break down data silos, enable interoperability and drive faster, more informed decisions at the tactical edge.”
“This investment isn’t just about physical space—it’s about presence, partnership and purpose,” Jackson, also a two-time Wash100 Award winner, added.
