Leidos used capabilities from its Kudu Dynamics acquisition to capture the Cyber Command contract that supports offensive and defensive operations.
Leidos has secured a $160 million contract to help the U.S. Cyber Command with planning and conducting operations.
To win the new contract, Leidos applied capabilities from its 2025 acquisition of Kudu Dynamics.
The Cyber Command contract involves supporting full-spectrum military cyber operations. It covers integration and coordination of offensive and defensive cyber operations, including operational support to operate and defend the Defense Department’s Information Network in cyberspace.
“Cyberspace operations demand speed, deep technical expertise and an understanding of how adversaries operate,” said Jason O’Connor, president of Leidos Intelligence.
Leidos will provide cyber defense, operational planning, emerging threat analysis and support for developing tactics, techniques and procedures.
The award also supports Leidos’ NorthStar 2030 strategy, which includes cyber as a key growth driver.
The work with U.S. Cyber Command was awarded as a task order through OASIS+
