The US Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) has awarded Leidos a $12 million contract to provide Unit Command and Control (UC2) software solutions, the company announced on 27 January.
UC2 Operations is a suite of tools deployed within fixed and expeditionary bases for Command and Control (C2) at the wing and squadron level.
Leidos will also develop a software-only capability that meets legacy requirements and provides improvements to the user interface and operational capability using agile development processes.
Leidos will provide open standards and open architecture solutions offering improved access to authoritative data, along with agile software development processes to rapidly respond to operator formal and derived requirements as well as full interoperability with other air force C2 systems.
The AFLCMC is one of five centres under the air force materiel command and is the single centre responsible for total life-cycle management of air force weapon systems.
The single-award contract has a four-year period of performance.
Clavister CyberArmour, an integrated defence cybersecurity system, will be used on BAE Systems Hägglunds’ CV90 platform in deployments with a Scandinavian country, as well as in an eastern European nation.
The tactical satellite (TacSat) is an intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) system and will participate in exercises in 2025.
The airborne three-domain, the two ground-based and the ¼ ATR OpenVPX-based cross-domain systems were engineered to provide real-time security across multi-domain operations.
DARPA’s Mission-Integrated Network Control (MINC) programme was set up to develop an autonomous tactical network and enable critical data flow in contested environments.
