T2S books $600M DOD cyber contract

T2S Solutions has secured a potential five-year, $600 million contract to develop and deliver new cybersecurity technologies across the entire Defense Department.

DOD established the Cybertron contract to focus on threat hunting, Zero Trust architectures, key management infrastructure development and artificial intelligence. The department is using this program to secure its digital infrastructure and systems used for C5ISR missions -- Command, Control, Computers, Communications, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance.

"As cyber threats become increasingly sophisticated and state-sponsored, the need for agile, resilient, and proactive defense mechanisms has never been greater,” T2S’ chief executive Tim Gay said in a release Tuesday.

T2S is touting its experience in AI, secure networking, cryptography, prototyping and integration as attributes it is bringing to the effort.

The Cybertron contract has a one-year base period and up to four individual option years.

Belcamp, Maryland-headquartered T2S opened for business in 2010 to specialize in rapid prototyping, systems development, integration, testing and sustainment services for the U.S. government and industry partners.

Private equity firm Madison Dearborn Partners acquired T2S in 2023 and supported the purchase of Blue Marble Communications two years later to add more space technologies into the portfolio.
