Leidos Australia has been selected by the Joint Systems Division of the Department of Defence, to deliver its Air Component Command and Control Capability System (AC-C2CS) sustainment program.
“We are proud to be trusted by Defence to take on sustainment of this mission-critical capability. As an experienced sustainment provider, Leidos will demonstrate flexibility and exercise our ‘best for capability’ mindset that delivers pragmatic, mission-focused outcomes," Leidos Australia Chief Executive, Paul Chase, said.
The new contract, which provides on-site sustainment services to Joint C4 Systems Branch including operational support, engineering services and training, is worth $35.4 million over the initial four-year term, with up to six additional extension years.
AC-C2CS is a suite of software applications that assists in the planning, preparation, execution, management and reporting of the Australian Defence Force’s (ADF) aviation operations. It provides air operations command and control (AirC2), intelligence, targeting and situational awareness.
Leidos’ delivery of this contract will build on its history of local mission software development and support across a number of Defence’s largest C4ISR systems, as well as cyber security across Defence’s deployed and strategic networks.
Leidos has collaborated with SPIRIT Group to support smooth transition and continuity of service to this mission-critical capability.
