General Dynamics Information Technology (GDIT) has secured a $1.25-billion task order to enhance enterprise IT, mission command, and communications services for the US Army in Europe and Africa. The initiative will overhaul existing digital infrastructure and provide support to Army headquarters, subordinate units, NATO, and allied partners operating across the two regions.
Under the contract, GDIT will focus on modernizing network infrastructure and expanding mission partner networks while implementing advanced cybersecurity safeguards. The company plans to integrate artificial intelligence, machine learning, cloud platforms, and data analytics to bolster efficiency and resilience in military operations. The order begins with a five-month transition phase, followed by seven potential option years, extending the program’s impact well into the next decade.
The effort aims to establish a digital backbone that connects soldiers and commanders across multiple dispersed locations, ensuring seamless communication and mission coordination. By linking mission partner environments and enabling secure, rapid data-sharing, the program will strengthen the Army’s ability to respond in time-sensitive operations where information dominance is vital.
This award reflects the Pentagon’s broader push to modernize digital command networks. Recently, the US Air Force signed a $5.7-billion deal with Leidos to advance its Joint All-Domain Command and Control strategy through the Advanced Battle Management System. Similarly, the US continues to collaborate with NATO allies on Mission Partner Environment projects designed to ensure secure and interoperable communications in joint operations.
