By Defence Industry Europe

Booz Allen Hamilton has received a five-year, single-award task order worth up to $1.58 billion to provide intelligence analysis for countering weapons of mass destruction (CWMD). The Weapons of Mass Destruction Analysis, Exploitation, and Data Science Support (WAEDS) task order, awarded in September 2024, will apply advanced technology and tradecraft to transform CWMD missions worldwide.

 

WAEDS supports the Defence Intelligence Agency’s Defence Counterproliferation Office and the Defence Threat Reduction Agency in delivering intelligence analysis, production, dissemination, visualisation, and technical support for critical operations. “As America faces the most challenging national security environment in half a century, WAEDS seeks to advance the CWMD mission with an accelerated trajectory the nation hasn’t experienced since the early 2000s,” said Lisa Bishop, senior vice president in Booz Allen’s national security business.

Bishop added: “The work is both foundational to the DIA mission and transformational at the same time through the technical support and expertise that we will add to this mission across multiple agencies and commands. This win is the latest example of how Booz Allen is applying advanced technology to solve the nation’s most complicated challenges and make America safer.”

Booz Allen will provide intelligence analysis, WMD expertise, data science, and language-enabled analysis, along with skills in cybersecurity, physics, missile systems, and other advanced technologies. “This win underscores our proven ability to execute, train, and proliferate compliant, timely, relevant, and actionable intelligence production along with our depth and breadth of technical expertise with WMD-related technologies,” said Tucker Moore, vice president in Booz Allen’s national security business.

 

 

Moore stated: “As the largest provider of intelligence analysis to DIA and the combatant commands, Booz Allen’s technical capabilities in data science, AI and machine learning, and digital modernization enable us to accelerate DIA’s mission at scale.” Work will be based primarily in Reston and Fort Belvoir, Virginia, with additional U.S. and global locations.
