The NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCIA) has awarded Leidos a contract to deliver a centralised IT solution based on private cloud technology. This system will support NATO’s operational network, integrating core services such as service management and cybersecurity to enhance interoperability and operational capability across the alliance’s command structure.
“This project reflects our long-standing commitment to NATO, leveraging innovative solutions aimed at delivering secure, mission-ready capabilities designed to adapt with operational needs,” said Steve Hull, Leidos digital modernization sector president. “It also creates new opportunities for more integrated collaboration across trans-Atlantic defence networks, helping NATO teams stay securely connected and able to share critical information with greater speed, agility and assurance.”
The Leidos-led consortium includes Thales (France), CGI (Germany), Leonardo (Italy), LA International (UK), and NEXOR (UK), all of whom bring decades of experience working with NATO. Together, the team offers deep understanding of NATO requirements and a proven record of success in complex defence technology projects.
Known as the IT Modernization Recovery Increment 1 Systems Integration contract, the agreement reinforces Leidos’ position as a key technology partner with NCIA. The contract has a ceiling value of $87 million (€79.1 million) and is structured on an indefinite delivery indefinite quantity (IDIQ) firm-fixed price basis.
