Lockheed Martin Corp. (NYSE: LMT) has won a position on a potential five-year $217 million contract to provide the U.S. Defense Department with information management tools and services that would help carry out its missions.
Work for the agency’s Chief Information Office includes the creation of a joint information environment that would modernize its IT infrastructure and address tactical connectivity and other issues that would help warfighters share secure information, Lockheed said Monday.
Willie Callahan, vice president of data analytics and services for Lockheed’s information systems and global solutions business, said the company would also provide advice on projects that would come under the DoD architecture framework it helped draft more than two decades ago.
The DoD CIO leads the agency’s information enterprise by setting policy and driving standards for the information infrastructure.
