The cost-plus-fixed-fee, single-award contract has a period of performance of five years and six months and has an approximate value of US$74 million (AU$114.92 million).
Leidos will provide analytical, engineering and deployable services to support JAD’s operational analysis. This will include demonstration, experimentation, and assessment of both emerging and fielded command and control information systems and procedures.
Will Johnson, Leidos Defense Group senior vice-president and logistics and mission support operations manager, said, “We are pleased to deepen our 31 years of experience collaborating with the Joint Staff and other DOD organisations through this new contract.”
Leidos will assist the Joint Assessment Division (JAD) by producing decision-quality data to improve Joint C2 interoperability on various automation and cloud platforms.
“Our team was purpose-built with unique domain expertise and analytical capabilities to help JAD accomplish its mission. We look forward to accelerating decision-making advantage for our warfighters in the era of CJADC2,” Johnson added.
JAD provides the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff with a robust capability to conduct full spectrum analysis of joint missions from the laboratory to the operational environments.
This produces data-driven assessments and recommendations that support decisions to improve Joint C5I and interoperability to enable a more lethal force.
