Leidos has been awarded a $31.4 million Navy contract to support acoustic signature systems.

Under the contract, Leidos will provide “scientific, engineering, technical and program management services in support of signature guidance and tactical decision aids for naval ships, submarines, air and shore-based undersea systems,” according to a company news release. “This includes associated software and system development, updates, integration and testing.”
