Leidos, Inc. received a delivery order contract valued at approximately $3.28 million from the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) to provide architecture and engineering support for the Joint Command and Control (JC2) program. This initiative establishes a federated set of command and control programs enabling seamless integration of information across the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Combatant Commanders, and military services to support joint and multinational operations. The contract is structured as a Cost Plus Fixed Fee arrangement with performance at Fort Meade, Maryland, and was awarded on March 29, 2012, with an ultimate completion date of August 8, 2014. No small business set-aside was utilized for this award.

The JC2 system provides responsive command and control capabilities supporting the President, Vice President, Secretary of Defense, and operational commanders by delivering synchronized operations from dispersed locations and integrated command, control, communications, computers, and intelligence (C4I) services across the entire force projection cycle. Through architecture and engineering support, Leidos contributed to developing the technical framework that enables joint task force commanders to maintain dominant battlefield awareness via fused, integrated near-real-time operational intelligence. Leidos, a subsidiary of Leidos Holdings, Inc., brings extensive experience in defense technology solutions and has a substantial track record of delivering complex systems integration and engineering services to the Department of Defense.

The joint C2 will be a federated set of C2 programs that will form a joint system that allows seamless integration of information for the chairman, joint chiefs of staff (cjcs), the combatant commanders (cocoms), and the military services providing joint and multinational operations into the 21ST century. The system supports the president, vice president, secretary of defense, cjcs, cocoms, and services by providing synchronized operations from dispersed locations and provides joint command, control, communications, computers, and intelligence (C4I) to support the entire force projection cycle. IT provides responsive command and control, the capability to assess the level of success, and retain flexibility to RE-engage with precision by allowing the joint task force (JTF) commander the ability to maintain dominant battlefield awareness through a fused, integrated, near real-time picture of the battle space processes. Joint command control (JC2) has been identified as one of these capabilities
