RESTON,
Va., March 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Leidos
(NYSE: LDOS), a Fortune 500® innovation leader, was recently
awarded a follow-on prime contract to develop and expand the Air
Force's Command and Control Incident Management Emergency Response
Application (C2IMERA). The single-award contract was awarded by
Kessel Run, a division within the Air Force Life Cycle Management
Center. The contract has a six-month base period of performance
with four one-year options and two six-month options. It has a
value of $158 million if all options
are exercised.
"C2IMERA provides Air Force personnel and installations with
secure and resilient information capabilities that are integrated,
interoperable, and adaptable," said Mike
Rickels, Leidos senior vice president, Decision Advantage
Solutions. "Our collaboration with the Air Force in maturing
C2IMERA's command and control capability now spans a decade. We
look forward to this next step in scaling and evolving the advanced
C2IMERA tool to enhance the Air Force's operational advantage."
Under the contract, Leidos will continue to develop C2IMERA and
work to expand the system to include all Air Force installations,
associated forward operating locations, and contingency locations
for command and control and emergency management requirements. This
scaling is intended to incorporate an expanded user base, including
emergency response services, local governments, and host
nations.
C2IMERA is a Leidos-developed, government-owned software
application system that provides an integrated composite picture of
wing and unit resources for planning, force employment, emergency
management, C2 monitoring, and reporting. The Air Force and other
stakeholders use C2IMERA for decision advantage in day-to-day
operations and across the conflict continuum to prevent, protect
against, mitigate, respond to, and recover installations from
physical hazards or threats.
Leidos developed C2IMERA at the company's software factories. In
2018, it became the first externally developed program to be
integrated into Kessel Run. Leidos has been responsible for
C2IMERA's development along with its predecessor product, Unit
Command and Control (UC2), since 2014.
Leidos currently supports approximately 25,000 C2IMERA users
across 90 locations worldwide.
