February 25, 2010 (FinancialWire) — Science Applications International Corp. [NYSE: SAI] said it has been awarded a contract for the production and delivery of three SAIC Tsunami Buoy systems and long-term maintenance services to the Indian National Center for Ocean Information Services, which is part of India’s Ministry of Earth Sciences.

The STB systems will be deployed at locations in the Bay of Bengal and off the northwest coast of India near the Makran subduction zone. These systems represent a part of a larger network of tsunami buoy systems that will provide the region with data to assess the magnitude of tsunamis generated in the Indian Ocean.

The eastern Bay of Bengal, one of the most seismically active regions in the world, is near the origin of the Boxing Day mega-tsunami that claimed over 220,000 lives in 2004.
