Leidos has been awarded a contract for continued deployed contingency operations in support of Night Eagle, an airborne intelligence system. The deal, announced Tuesday by the Department of Defense, is valued at more than $75.1 million under the terms of a firm-fixed-price fee agreement. Commanders use the Night Eagle airborne intelligence system to gather measurement and signature intelligence, which collects information to describe and identify distinctive characteristics of a target within a given battle space. Additionally, the system can collect imagery during intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance missions, producing high quality photographs for both day and night time operations, which can aid commanders in counter-improvised explosive device missions. Work on the contract will occur in Reston, Va., and Bagram, Afghanistan, with the contract set to expire in April 2020. The full value of the contract has been obligated to Leidos from Army fiscal year 2018 operations and maintenance funds.
