Leidos has won a task order from the US Army for Communications-Electronics Research, Development and Engineering Center (CERDEC) mission support services, the company announced on 11 February.

Under the order, Leidos will provide mission support services for the CERDEC prototyping integration and testing directorate. The order has a one-year base period and four one-year extension options, with a total value of around $46 million. Most of the work will be done at the Aberdeen proving ground in Maryland.

Leidos will provide research, development, engineering, design, purchasing, fabrication, integration, testing, logistics support, and shipping services related to the integration of mission equipment into a metrology system. The tactical metrology system provides test, repair and calibration of test, measurement and diagnostics equipment to support safety and mission effectiveness.

CERDEC advances soldier capabilities for greater situational awareness and understanding, establishing and securing communications and protecting them from surprise attacks. CP&I provides consultation, engineering design and support services for C4ISR platform systems integration, including design, installation, fabrication, integration, environmental testing and fielding support.
