Leidos Defense Group president Gerry Fasano said: “In today’s battlefield, the command who has actionable multi and cross domain data fastest is the one with the high ground.

“Leidos has finely tuned our portfolio of expertise and developed a dynamic enterprise suite of C5ISR solutions, including Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2) tools, to ensure our warfighters exploit state-of-the-art technology to maintain their decisive advantage and enable joint synergy for operational superiority.

“We are honoured to support this critical mission, providing readiness against evolving global threats.”

According to Leidos, the task order will help the company support the soldiers with increased C5ISR capabilities. 

In March this year, Leidos secured a Defense Enclave Services indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract from the US Defense Information Systems Agency.
