Mission Partner Environment to securely share information with
global mission partners
FALLS
CHURCH, Va., Dec. 20,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- General Dynamics Information
Technology (GDIT), a business unit of General Dynamics (NYSE:GD),
announced today it was awarded a new $5.6
billion contract by the Air Force Mission Partner
Capabilities Office. The single award, indefinite-delivery
indefinite-quantity contract, awarded in November, has a five-year
base period and a five-year option.
Mission Partner Environments (MPEs) enable the military and its
trusted partners to securely communicate, collaborate and share
information at multiple levels of classification in real time so
decision makers can rapidly adapt to changing mission dynamics.
Under the contract, GDIT will modernize, integrate, operate and
sustain the Department of Defense's MPE. The company will provide a
portfolio of services including mission, cyber and enterprise IT
services and infrastructure. This contract will also advance
interoperability – the ability to seamlessly connect multiple
systems together – with U.S. government and non-government entities
and international coalition partners in support of the National
Defense Strategy.
"The complexity of global threats necessitates the urgency to
create agile, secure and seamless information-sharing environments
with our trusted partners," said Amy
Gilliland, GDIT's president. "We look forward to
implementing an integrated Mission Partner Environment that will
serve as a blueprint for future efforts across the Department of
Defense."
GDIT has more than three decades of experience delivering some
of the largest MPE programs globally. This includes operating the
largest coalition intelligence sharing program in the world as well
as implementing an MPE network for U.S. Army Europe and Africa. At Talisman Sabre 2023, the company
also demonstrated the first ever Zero Trust exercises to enable
rapid, secure and seamless data sharing between global mission
partners in battlefield environments with limited to no internet
connectivity.

and defense company that offers a broad portfolio of products and
