Leidos noted that its team will deploy a suite of professionals and tools from across the industry to deliver the required support.

ISR sensor integration, hardware and spares procurement, sustainment support, as well as inspections for airworthiness / configuration will be offered by the company.

Leidos senior vice-president and operations Manager Mike Chagnon said: “This award underscores Leidos’ strong performance leveraging decades of operation and technical integration expertise for the airforce.

“We look forward to supporting the airforce and its mission to maintain multi-domain dominance.”

USAF’s ISR/SOF provides support to all weapons systems in its portfolio. They include a wide range of systems for collecting, processing and disseminating intelligence for national security decision-makers and army commanders.

In April last year, Leidos restarted work on a $450m USAF contract that involves providing IT services to users within the National Capital Region (NCR).
