CICERO, N.Y. — SRC is hoping to fill more than 200 positions “over the next year” for its U.S. Army contracts, including a new $32 million contract to provide next-generation, multi-mission, electronic-warfare (EW) systems.
With this new contract award and additional contracts for which work has already started, SRC is looking to fill jobs that focus on digital engineering, systems engineering, software engineering, integration/testing, field-application support, and program management, the company said in a news release issued Wednesday.
SRC is a nonprofit corporation headquartered in Cicero that focuses on areas that include defense, environment, and intelligence.

Under the new Army contract, SRC will provide a range of research, development, test, and evaluation (RDT&E) services. That work will “extend the life” of the Army’s CREW Duke systems through the next decade. CREW is short for counter remote controlled improvised explosive device (RCIED) electronic warfare.
SRC will build upon its counter improvised explosive device (IED) capabilities to put technology in the soldiers’ hands to meet “evolving requirements” in the EW “battle space.” The technology upgrade will “enable rapid reconfiguration” of Army EW electronics to support multiple missions, including counter-IED, counter-UAS and electromagnetic support. UAS is short for unmanned aircraft systems, or those systems that involve drones.
“We are proud to be leading the continued development of the Army’s innovative CREW Duke systems,” Paul Tremont, president and CEO of SRC, said. “These advancements will provide state-of-the-art electronic warfare capabilities to warfighters, helping to ensure both their safety and continued spectrum superiority.”
SRC continues to be a leader in technological development that protects our servicemen and women, U.S. Representative John Katko (R–Camillus) contended in the SRC release.
“The CREW Duke electronic warfare system gives our soldiers an adaptable, vehicle-mounted defensive capability that provides them increased survivability against improvised explosive devices. Technologies like CREW give our soldiers the tools to survive on an increasingly complex battlefield,” said Katko.
