Using artificial intelligence, advanced networking and modular open architecture,\u00a0Leidos<\/a>\u00a0will design, build and integrate secure systems for the Pentagon that help warfighters make better, faster decisions across the electromagnetic spectrum and land, sea, air, space and cyber domains.<\/p>\n

The work will be done under a five-year, $869 million MACRO (Mission Awareness Capabilities Ramp-up and Optimization) II competitive contract recently awarded by the U.S. Army, the company announced April 30.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis\u00a0program\u00a0is designed to help the joint force turn growing volumes of data into clear, operationally relevant insight, with the goal of enabling warfighters to understand the battlefield and act faster than the enemy,\u201d said Chad Haferbier, Leidos\u00a0senior vice president of\u00a0decision advantage. \u201cWe are excited to partner with the Army and joint partners to accelerate how we develop and integrate mission systems for multi-domain operations.\u201d<\/p>\n
