According to a press release sent to GovCon Wire, the 12-month contract will support the modernization of Anniston Army Depot, a facility built during World War II, into an advanced manufacturing hub for electric motor components. ACC awarded the firm-fixed-price contract after receiving 11 offers in response to an online solicitation. SGT said the effort will involve a digital-first approach that uses process-rich digital twins to design, inform and validate production line configurations before physical manufacturing begins. SGT President and CEO John Ustica , a four-time Wash100 Award winner, said that giving the Army control over its own production and manufacturing environment through AI-driven digital twins and a digital-first approach will help accelerate the Army’s in-house expertise and innovation in next-generation UAS development and sustainment. SGT will leverage its experience in Army infrastructure modernization, including fire and life safety systems, on-site energy generation, energy storage, and distributed power and interconnection technologies, to support the safety, power and energy resiliency the flexible and modular manufacturing environment requires.
