Leidos has won a follow-on prime contract to develop and expand the Air Force’s Command and Control Incident Management Emergency Response Application.
The single-award contract was awarded by Kessel Run, a division within the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center. The contract has a 6-month base period of performance with four 1-year options and two 6-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, senior vice president of Leidos’ 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 expand the system to include all Air Force installations, associated forward operating locations, and contingency locations for command and control and emergency management requirements, the company said. The goal is to expand the user base to include emergency response services, local governments and host nations.
Leidos developed C2IMERA, a government-owned software system that offers an integrated overview of wing and unit resources for planning, force employment, emergency management, command and control monitoring, and reporting.
The Air Force employs C2IMERA to gain a decision advantage in daily operations, helping to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to and recover installations from threats.
In 2018, C2IMERA became the first program developed outside Kessel Run to be integrated into its operations. Since 2014, Leidos has led the development of C2IMERA and its precursor, Unit Command and Control. Currently, Leidos supports 25,000 C2IMERA users at 90 locations worldwide.
