Locally Leidos employs over 900 Australians in primarily Canberra and Melbourne.
“We are delighted to officially launch our Australian business,” said Christine Zeitz, Managing Director of Leidos Australia.
“We are building on our existing customer base which includes the Department of Defence Centralised Processing program valued at nearly $1 billion and the Service Management and End User Computing contract with the Australian Taxation Office worth roughly $470 million.”
“Whilst we have a strong heritage in the defence business, we are also committed to working in cyber security, big data, airport, and air traffic management systems.”
The company’s capabilities include transformation/migration, systems integration, information and data management, software solutions, As A Service model and delivery solutions and C4ISR – Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance.
