Leidos has been awarded a slot on an Army contract, with a maximum value of $250 million, to develop analytical software for intelligence analysis.

Under the five-year, indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract with the Army Research Laboratory’s Sensors and Electron Devices Directorate, Leidos will be one of four contractors to compete on task orders to develop software.

“Leidos will develop a suite of analytic software and tools to encompass the integration of large sets of data and the redeployment of new and existing sensors in an effort to create an ecosystem which allows the effective and efficient gathering and use of information,” according to a company news release. “Technologies include sensors, cloud computing, multi-source data fusion, munitions detection systems, signal processing tools and concepts, Processing, Exploitation, and Dissemination (PED) tool automation capabilities, and Counter-IED (CIED) technologies and systems in asymmetric, counter-terrorism, and counter-insurgency warfare scenarios.”
