The US Cyber Command has awarded Leidos a $99-million deal to develop a unified platform that will help cyber operators plan, coordinate, and assess missions through a single digital environment.
The agreement will fund further development of the system, which aims to combine workflows and tools that operators have traditionally handled separately. Its modular design is intended to allow integration with government and third-party technologies as mission requirements change.
Leidos said the platform has already shortened some cyber mission planning cycles to less than 24 hours. The company did not disclose how much time the system typically saves or provide a timeline for completing its development.
The technology was developed by Kudu Dynamics, a cyber technology company that Leidos acquired in 2025.
“This technology delivers mission planning, execution and assessment to the cyber mission at speed and scale,” Jason O’Connor, president of Leidos Intelligence, said.
US Modernizes Cyber Platforms
The Leidos agreement comes as the US military works to integrate its cyber capabilities through the Joint Cyber Warfighting Architecture, a broader initiative led by US Cyber Command. The architecture is designed to connect tools, data, infrastructure, and systems used by the Cyber Mission Force for offensive and defensive operations.
One of its components is Joint Cyber Command and Control (JCC2), which aims to give commanders, planners, analysts, and operators a common system for monitoring cyber activity, planning missions, and coordinating operations.
Another component, the Unified Platform, provides cloud-based infrastructure and services to connect cyber capabilities and support data storage, processing, and analysis across US Cyber Command and military service components.
