On August 14, Booz Allen Hamilton announced it was awarded a five-year, single-award task order with a $1.58 billion ceiling to provide intelligence analysis related to countering weapons of mass destruction (CWMD). Under the Weapons of Mass Destruction Analysis, Exploitation, and Data Science Support (WAEDS) task order, awarded in September 2024, Booz Allen will apply advanced technology and tradecraft to transform CWMD missions globally.
WAEDS supports the Defense Intelligence Agency’s (DIA) Defense Counterproliferation Office and the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) to provide CWMD intelligence analysis, including production and dissemination, visualization, web development, business analytics, intelligence business operations, and compartmented programs support to the analytic workforce. This task order will provide the bulk of the intelligence community and the Department of Defense’s (DOD) WMD and CWMD intelligence analysis and intelligence support to critical operations through highly technical and scientific skillsets.
“As America faces the most challenging national security environment in half a century, WAEDS seeks to advance the CWMD mission with an accelerated trajectory the nation hasn’t experienced since the early 2000s,” said Lisa Bishop, a senior vice president in Booz Allen’s national security business. “The work is both foundational to the DIA mission and transformational at the same time through the technical support and expertise that we will add to this mission across multiple agencies and commands. This win is the latest example of how Booz Allen is applying advanced technology to solve the nation’s most complicated challenges and make America safer.”
Booz Allen brings highly technical skillsets to WAEDS, including intelligence analysis across all functional disciplines, WMD expertise, data science, and language-enabled analysis. The company will also apply expertise spanning cybersecurity, physics, missile systems, and other advanced technologies to strengthen U.S. national security. Work on the contract will take place primarily in Reston and Fort Belvoir, Virginia, with additional locations across the United States and globally.
“This win underscores our proven ability to execute, train, and proliferate compliant, timely, relevant, and actionable intelligence production along with our depth and breadth of technical expertise with WMD-related technologies,” said Tucker Moore, a vice president in Booz Allen’s national security business. “As the largest provider of intelligence analysis to DIA and the combatant commands, Booz Allen’s technical capabilities in data science, AI and machine learning, and digital modernization enable us to accelerate DIA’s mission at scale.”
