General Dynamics Information Technology has announced its Vision, Innovation and Acceleration strategy to accelerate technology innovation and deliver advanced solutions for critical government missions.
VIA builds on the company’s 2023 technology investment strategy, which generated $18.3 billion in new business and recompete contract awards and established GDIT’s position in AI, cyber and integrated mission technology solutions.
“Mission success in today’s dynamic geopolitical and technological environment demands agility, speed and innovation,” said Amy Gilliland, GDIT president. “VIA reinforces our long-standing commitment to invest in proven mission solutions to meet the government’s most pressing challenges now and in the future.”
