Leidos (NYSE: LDOS) has received a potential 14-year, $117 million task order to build a seventh-generation geostationary Earth orbit satellite in support of the Federal Aviation Administration™s Wide Area Augmentation System.
WAAS works to augment the GPS Standard Positioning Service to ensure the safety of flight operations, the company said Monday.

Leidos said the GEO 7 satellite payload is slated for lift-off in the first quarter of 2020 and will begin its 10-year operational phase in 2021.
