Leidos Australia is seeking to maximise opportunities available for Australian industry for upcoming opportunities in 2024, including small-to-medium-enterprises (SMEs) and Indigenous enterprises. Leidos is focused on continually growing the size and capability of Australian Industry Capability by providing opportunities to join their supply-chain, particularly via opportunities in their recently acquired Airborne Solutions Division.

The opportunity scope requires Leidos to deliver aerial surveillance services including scheduled, targeted, and persistent surveillance in real-time. The surveillance services will be required to be delivered in a diverse range of environmental and climactic conditions to detect, classify, and identify any threats.

Leidos is seeking industry engagement with organisations that will potentially be able to support its delivery, particularly in the provision of mature, cost-effective technologies comparable to a crewed fixed wing capability, including:

* Satellites
* Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems
* Satellite Surveillance
* Land based surveillance system
* Other Surveillance Systems
* Radar
* Data Management Systems
* Other ISR Mission Equipment

We encourage Australian Industry to express interest in this opportunity by registering on the Leidos APN and also by directly contacting Michaella Eldestein at [email protected]. Leidos will then reach out to organisations with relevant, mature capabilities being sought with an RFI response form, as the first stage of the engagement process.

We hope to maximise opportunities for Australian industry involvement in our supply chain and engaging with a broad range of companies who will also be considered for longer-term opportunities as they arise.

Kind regards,

The AIDN Team
