Founded in 1969 by J. Robert Beyster, SAIC has evolved through strategic acquisitions and organic growth to serve a broad range of federal clients.

The company’s offerings are organized around two main business segments: Mission and Mission Support, which focuses on public sector mission execution, and Engineering and Technology Solutions, which delivers advanced engineering, software development, and technical innovation services. This dual-segment model enables SAIC to address both ongoing operational needs and emerging technology requirements.
Under the leadership of President and Chief Executive Officer Douglas M. Wagoner, SAIC continues to invest in talent development, digital transformation, and strategic partnerships. The company’s management team places strong emphasis on innovation and customer collaboration, driving forward initiatives in artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, and resilient cybersecurity architectures.
