Leidos has won a task order from the US Army for Communications-Electronics Research, Development and Engineering Center (CERDEC) mission support services, the company announced on 11 February.
Under the order, Leidos will provide mission support services for the CERDEC prototyping integration and testing directorate. The order has a one-year base period and four one-year extension options, with a total value of around $46 million. Most of the work will be done at the Aberdeen proving ground in Maryland.
