HUNTSVILLE, Ala., Sept. 12, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Leidos announced
today that its Dynetics Group was recently awarded a $124.7M Cyber Electromagnetic Activities (CEMA)
contract from U.S. Army Contracting Command to support the US
Army's Missile and Space Program Executive Office (PEO). This
award is critical to the safety and security of the U.S. warfighter
because it provides CEMA resiliency to vital Army PEO Missile and
Space weapon systems.
CEMA resiliency enables US Army Air and Missile Defense weapon
systems to endure and fight through cyber attacks and defend US
forces. Conducting Survivability and Resiliency Exercises (SuReX)
focuses on providing unequalled assessment and non-attributable
testing for simultaneous, layered CEMA effects.
"We're proud to build on our partnership with the Army to create
and now deploy innovative capabilities to enhance the cyber
protection of critical weapon systems," said Jonathan Pettus, Senior Vice President and
Operations Manager for Leidos Dynetics Aerospace, Defense and
Civil. "This contract enables the Army to take advantage of more
data-centric capabilities. The work is focused on enabling
effective operations in contested environments, while staying ahead
of adversaries on future battlefields."
Work on CEMA/SuReX will be performed at Redstone Arsenal and other test facilities,
including the Army FIRES Center of Excellence in Fort Sill,
Oklahoma.
