Leidos (NYSE: LDOS) has secured a $158 million follow-on prime contract to continue developing and expanding the U.S. Air Force’s automated command and control and emergency management system.
The company said Thursday it will help broaden the use of the Command and Control Incident Management Emergency Response Application across all Air Force installations and associated contingency and forward operating locations.
C2IMERA is a government-owned software built by Leidos to create a common operating picture of wing and unit resources used for C2 monitoring, force employment, planning and emergency management.
The system was first integrated into Kessel Run, a division within the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, in 2018.
Leidos has spearheaded C2IMERA’s development and its predecessor called the Unit Command and Control since 2014.
“Our collaboration with the Air Force in maturing C2IMERA’s command and control capability now spans a decade. We look forward to this next step in scaling and evolving the advanced C2IMERA tool to enhance the Air Force’s operational advantage,” said Mike Rickels, senior vice president of decision advantage solutions at Leidos.
The contract has a six-month base period with four one-year options and two six-month options.
