Leidos gains more work on Saturn Arch
US Army Contracting Command on 5 August awarded Leidos an $11.92 million contract modification for continued system operations, sustainment services and test and training services for the Saturn Arch Aerial Intelligence Systems Quick Reaction Capability Program.
Work will be performed in Reston, Virginia; Bridgewater, Virginia; and Huntsville, Alabama, with an estimated completion date of 16 March 2024.
Leidos is the incumbent contract for Saturn Arch and it was awarded another contract modification last month.
Saturn Arch began in 2010 as a US Army programme in Afghanistan, to equip aircraft with ISR sensors that assist in IED identification and removal. It has evolved since then to cover a broader range of ISR missions.
