General Dynamics Information Technology (GDIT) has won a $1.25-billion task order to deliver enterprise IT, communications, and mission command services for the US Army in Europe and Africa.
GDIT will modernize network infrastructure and expand mission partner networks while also strengthening cybersecurity.
To achieve this, the company will introduce emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, cloud computing, and data analytics.
The order begins with a five-month transition base period and could extend for up to seven option years.
With this effort, GDIT will support the US Army’s Europe and Africa headquarters, subordinate units, NATO, and allied partners.
The goal is to create a digital backbone that links soldiers and commanders across multiple networks and dispersed locations to ensure seamless information sharing in missions where speed and coordination are critical.
“We look forward to continuing to deliver a modern digital backbone that will enable our soldiers and commanders to stay connected, coordinate seamlessly with mission partners, and act decisively on the battlefield,” GDIT Senior Vice President for Defense Brian Sheridan said.
This task order extends GDIT’s growing defense portfolio. Earlier in 2025, the company won an Integrated Base Defense Sustainment Support order to strengthen base protection and operational readiness.
Broader Push to Upgrade Military IT Infrastructure
The army award follows a series of large-scale efforts to modernize digital networks across the US military.
In August, the US Air Force signed a $5.7-billion deal with Leidos to support its Advanced Battle Management System, integrating sensors and communications into a joint digital network.
The US also took part in the Mission Partner Environment projects to ensure NATO allies can exchange data securely during joint operations.
