Leidos received a follow-on contract from the Naval Information Warfare Center Pacific valued at $248 million to provide support services for unmanned and automated systems for maritime intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance, or ISR.
The company said Thursday the five-year single-award task order involves conducting research and analysis to gather and process ISR capabilities for the development of multi-sensor, unmanned underwater vehicles and other unattended and unmanned systems platforms.
According to the contract awarded under the Department of Defense Information Analysis Center’s multiple-award contract vehicle, Leidos will perform technology assessment and development, create software and hardware designs, develop prototypes and facilitate integration. The company will also conduct tests in laboratories and real-world sea conditions and provide recovery and repair services.
“This award enables Leidos to accelerate the technology needed to enhance ISR capabilities and harden the foundation for Navy operations,” stated Dave Lewis, senior vice president for sea systems at Leidos and former Wash100 Award winner. “We look forward to strengthening our partnership with NIWC PAC and addressing their needs with artificial intelligence and autonomy, integrated sensing, and cyber solutions.”
