Leidos to modernize and secure U.S. Air Force cloud operations for faster, safer mission readiness
RESTON, Va., March 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Leidos (NYSE:LDOS) will modernize the U.S. Air Force's Cloud One platform to accelerate the secure deployment of cloud capabilities. This program is designed to create a vehicle for modernization that can be deployed across the Department of War to help safeguard mission-critical systems and data and drive broader, faster adoption of cloud capabilities across the Air Force.
Under the $454.9 million contract, Leidos will work with Amazon Web Services, Azure, Google Cloud Platform, and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure to transform the Air Force's multi-cloud environment. The improvements are designed to boost security, increase automation and simplify day-to-day operations, all while helping reduce costs and enabling Air Force teams to manage cloud operations faster and with greater confidence, making it easier for more units to adopt and scale cloud services.
"Modernizing Cloud One helps the Air Force deploy mission-critical operations faster and defend them more effectively," said Steve Hull, president of Leidos' Digital Modernization. "It also creates a secure, repeatable cloud foundation that other Department of War organizations can adopt, helping to remove barriers to cloud adoption and enabling teams to move faster and more securely to help meet mission demands and maintain a strategic edge."
By streamlining cloud processes and reducing complexity, the program is intended to accelerate cloud adoption across Air Force units worldwide, making it easier for them to move applications to the cloud, while strengthening cyber defenses and enhancing mission readiness.
Leidos is a trusted partner in the Cloud One program, delivering innovative solutions that support the Air Force's transition to the cloud. This effort aligns fully with Leidos' NorthStar 2030 strategy and its focus on leading large-scale technology and cybersecurity innovation and modernization for the federal government.
