Leidos to continue geospatial intelligence support
Leidos has received a follow-on contract to support the geospatial requirements, standards and systems across the US Army, the company announced on 7 March.
The follow-on cost-plus-fixed-fee and firm-fixed-price contract worth $200 million has a five-year period of performance and the work will be performed in Alexandria, Virginia.
The contract will see Leidos continue to provide technologies and expertise to support the US Army's ongoing geospatial research, integration, development, and operational requirements at its Geospatial Center at Fort Belvoir.
Leidos will also develop geospatial enterprise-enabled systems for the army and other Department of Defense (DoD) and non-DoD entities.
Mike Chagnon, group president, Leidos Advanced Solutions, said: ‘We are proud of the twenty five years of support we've provided to the army's geospatial work, helping deliver innovative intelligence capabilities into the hands of the army warfighter. Across the geospatial community, Leidos continues to innovate on behalf of our customers, delivering technologies and expertise focused on their unique missions.’
