Leidos has received a contract from the Army Contracting Command – Aberdeen Proving Ground to advance joint lifecycle software and management systems throughout the center.
Under the $191 million contract, Leidos aims to continue modernizing mission software for the U.S. Army, including implementing cyber-hardened programs, system engineering and technical services, the Reston, Virginia-based company announced Tuesday.
Roy Stevens, president of Leidos National Security sector and a 2023 Wash100 awardee, said, “For the U.S. Army to deliver precise, longer-range fires to counter continuous innovation from near-peer threats, they need software systems capable of incremental modernization.”
The contract’s work will support the Army’s Communications-Electronics Command Software Engineering Center, C3T Directorate and Fires Division.
“Applying our expertise in DevSecOps, we will sustain and upgrade fires systems and integrate third-party applications supporting the vision for the Army of 2030 and beyond,” Stevens added.
The mission software development contract has a term of five years, with a six-month extension option.
In April, Leidos was also awarded a $267 million task order from the Army Contracting Command—Aberdeen Proving Ground to improve the center’s training and logistic services.
