Under the deal, the company will deliver data integration, improve accessibility across logistics systems, and accelerate the development and deployment of new software capabilities.
This effort is intended to modernize how the US Navy manages logistics data while supporting faster delivery of mission-critical IT services.
It will also focus on strengthening the service’s underlying digital infrastructure by improving interoperability and data management across its logistics enterprise.
Agile Defense said the work builds on its experience supporting US Transportation Command through the Mobility Air Forces Command and Control Systems Infrastructure, Applications, Operations and Maintenance Services program, which supports global airlift and aerial refueling mission planning.
US Modernizes Defense Logistics
The US has expanded several initiatives in recent years to improve logistics capacity through new facilities, digital infrastructure, and distributed production.
In July, the Pentagon awarded Lockheed Martin a $10.5-billion, 12-year contract to provide worldwide logistics and sustainment services for US Special Operations Command, covering maintenance, repairs, inventory management, depots, and infrastructure support.
In May, Blue Yonder Defense Solutions secured a $62-million contract to continue developing the US Air Force's cloud-based Foundational Logistics Information Technology Enterprise System, which integrates commercial and defense software to improve supply chain management and operational support.
The effort follows a March contract awarded to Tetra Tech to modernize the Defense Logistics Agency's IT and operational technology systems supporting military inventory, handling, and distribution.
