RESTON,
Va., Feb. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Leidos
(NYSE: LDOS), a FORTUNE® 500 science and technology global leader,
was recently awarded a new task order contract from the Defense
Intelligence Agency's (DIA) Science & Technology (S&T)
Directorate. Through this award, Leidos will design and implement a
Tasking, Collection, Processing, Exploitation and Dissemination
(TCPED) system for the DIA's Open Source Intelligence Integration
Center (OSIC).
The task order award has a total estimated value of $143 million under the DOMEX Technology Platform
(DTP) single award, indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity
contract (IDIQ). Work will be performed in the National Capital
Region with remote software development across Leidos
facilities.
The new task order builds upon the agency's ongoing success with
the National Media Exploitation Center's (NMEC) Data Discovery
Platform (D3P) under the DTP IDIQ. D3P enhances the processing and
enrichment of petabytes of unstructured, heterogeneous multi-modal
data from across the Department of Defense, intelligence community
and partners. This enables discovery, retrieval and sharing of
vital intelligence data across multiple federal agencies.
"This award serves as an important investment to operationalize
artificial intelligence/machine learning capabilities in support of
a critical intelligence mission," said Roy
Stevens, Leidos National Security Sector President. "Our
work is a testament to the Leidos legacy of innovative,
mission-focused and data-driven solutions. We look forward to
extending our technical and mission success at NMEC to OSIC and
across the DIA S&T Directorate."
The new program will bring together Leidos data science research
and technology development teams from NMEC to expand collection and
exploitation work at OSIC. This work will help OSIC address future
national security challenges by operationalizing artificial
intelligence and machine learning, enabling new insights from the
nation's most critical and sensitive data streams.
