U.S. Cyber Command selects Leidos to deploy unified cyber planning platform

RESTON, Va., Oct. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- U.S. Cyber Command selected Leidos (NYSE: LDOS) to further develop the first integrated digital platform designed to help cyber operators plan, coordinate, and assess missions through a single, unified environment.

A $99 million Other Transaction Authority (OTA) prototype agreement was awarded for continued development on this next-generation cyber planning system.

"We've equipped U.S. cyber operators with a platform that has significantly shortened mission planning cycles to less than 24 hours in some cases," said Jason O'Connor, Leidos Intelligence president. "Developed by our Kudu Dynamics team, this technology delivers mission planning, execution and assessment to the cyber mission at speed and scale."

The platform is designed to bring together traditionally separate workflows and tools into a single integrated system. The platform also has a modular architecture that's intended to support integration with government and third-party technologies as mission needs change, allowing for flexibility in how the platform is developed and sustained.

Leidos acquired Kudu Dynamics in 2025 to expand its cyber technology, engineering and mission-support capabilities. The award advances Leidos' NorthStar 2030 strategy, with cyber as a key growth driver and an increasingly critical component of how the U.S. military competes and conducts modern warfare across domains.
