Leidos has received a $454.9-million contract to support the modernization of the US Air Force’s Cloud One platform, which hosts and manages military applications in secure cloud environments.
Under the agreement, the company will work with several major commercial cloud providers, including Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
The effort aims to strengthen cybersecurity protections, increase automation in cloud operations, and streamline management processes.
In turn, these improvements will help US Air Force units move applications and data into cloud environments while protecting operational and mission-critical systems.
Additionally, the initiative is expected to speed up the deployment of digital tools for military personnel and simplify the management of cloud services across the force.
Leidos said the contract forms part of its broader NorthStar 2030 strategy, which focuses on expanding the company’s role in large-scale technology modernization and cybersecurity programs for US federal agencies.
Latest Initiatives
The contract adds to a series of recent technology and cybersecurity programs involving Leidos across the US and allied defense institutions.
Partnering with RegScale last month, the company integrated cybersecurity platforms designed to automate compliance monitoring and strengthen digital defenses across the US Department of Defense and other federal agencies.
In 2025, Leidos teamed up with VML to develop Imperium, an AI platform intended to support US information operations.
The system provides tools to plan, execute, and analyze information campaigns, while incorporating compliance and oversight mechanisms.
Earlier in 2025, Leidos secured an $87-million contract with the NATO Communications and Information Agency to build a centralized IT system based on private cloud technology.
Enlisting a multinational team including Thales in France, CGI in Germany, Leonardo in Italy, and the UK companies LA International and NEXO, the project aims to improve network scalability and strengthen NATO’s cyber resiliency.
