Leidos will modernize the U.S. Air Force’s Cloud One platform under a $454.9 million contract, working with Amazon Web Services, Azure, Google Cloud Platform and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure to transform the service’s multi-cloud environment.
The program aims to boost security, increase automation and simplify operations while reducing costs and accelerating cloud adoption across Air Force units worldwide.
“Modernizing Cloud One helps the Air Force deploy mission-critical operations faster and defend them more effectively,” said Steve Hull, president of Leidos’ digital modernization. “It also creates a secure, repeatable cloud foundation that other Department of War organizations can adopt, helping to remove barriers to cloud adoption and enabling teams to move faster and more securely to help meet mission demands and maintain a strategic edge.”
The modernization effort is designed to make it easier for Air Force units to move applications to the cloud, strengthen cyber defenses and enhance mission readiness. Leidos said the program also creates a deployable vehicle for broader cloud adoption across the Department of War.
The contract aligns with Leidos’ NorthStar 2030 strategy, which focuses on large-scale technology and cybersecurity modernization for the federal government.
