On October 7, Reston, VA-based Leidos announced that it was recently awarded a $303 million contract to oversee planning, analysis, and operations for the Department of the Air Force’s (DAF) Advanced Battle Management System – Digital Infrastructure (ABMS-DI) network, which is a core component of the DAF Battle Network. The contract was awarded by the DAF Program Executive Officer Command, Control, Communications and Battle Management and covers a three-year performance period, with two option years.
“For battle managers to make faster and better-informed decisions, they need government and commercial technologies to work together seamlessly,” said Roy Stevens, Leidos National Security Sector President. “We will lead the secure, rapid integration of cloud computing, data analytics, and communications capabilities so that our Airmen and Guardians have the tactical, operational, and strategic data they need.”
As ABMS-DI network manager, Leidos will perform a wide range of management functions to support the successful standup of the Digital Infrastructure Network. This contract extends Leidos’ collaborative role with the DAF to design, develop, and deploy modern combined Joint All-Domain Command and Control capabilities for the Air Force and Space Force.
