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 single-award contract has a four-year period of performance.
