RESTON,
Va., May 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Leidos, a
science and technology innovator, recently received a $631 million award from the U.S. Army Contracting
Command – Aberdeen Proving Grounds. The Development, Integration,
Acquisitions, Bridging to Logistics & Operations (DIABLO)
program positions the company as a leading mission equipment
provider to the Army for the next 10 years.
"We are excited about the opportunity to support the Army's
DIABLO program," said Tim Freeman,
Leidos senior vice president for Airborne Systems. "Our full
lifecycle work on sensors and airborne ISR is a legacy we're proud
of, and we look forward to expand upon that in support of the
Army's future capabilities work."
Under the direction of the Project Director Sensors-Aerial
Intelligence (PD SAI), the DIABLO contract has a requirement to
develop, acquire, field and provide lifecycle support to tactically
relevant aerial intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance
(AISR) sensors and integrated systems across a broad spectrum of
multiple intelligence capabilities. This allows PD SAI to be agile
and adaptable while working toward the Army's modernization
goals.
Leidos showcased its ability to provide platform agnostic sensor
and technology solutions by providing independent technology and
supplier evaluations from other programs the company currently
supports. Its unique approach facilitates improved interoperability
and adaptability for battlespace awareness and superiority in the
current environments.
