Leidos has developed the Joint Management Tool with the Defense Information Systems Agency and U.S. Space Command to give warfighters across the Defense Department better access to satellite communications services.
The cloud-based platform provides real-time visibility into global SATCOM resources, reliable connectivity for forces worldwide and automated reporting that’s expected to cut command-level analysis time by up to 85%, potentially saving hundreds of hours a year.
“The JMT brings clarity to complex satellite communications, giving operators faster, more reliable access to the data they need to make decisions,” said Paul Welch, senior vice president of digital modernization at Leidos. “This work underscores our role in operating, sustaining and defending the most critical networks supporting U.S. defense missions globally.”
The tool consolidates service requests and operational oversight across combatant commands, military services and defense agencies in a single enterprise environment. It replaces a legacy system DISA first fielded in 2004 and was developed and deployed in one year.
Built on commercial off-the-shelf telecommunications modules, the JMT advances the Pentagon’s adoption of commercial software. Its modular architecture enables rapid updates, improved scalability and flexibility to adapt to evolving operational requirements.
