RESTON, Va. - Leidos was awarded a prime contract by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to provide research and development along with production of an initial fixed number of new deep ocean sensors. This award, with a two-year period of performance valued at approximately $14 million, is the fourth phase of a cost-plus-fixed-fee contract. DARPA awarded the contract under its Distributed Agile Submarine Hunter (DASH) program to Leidos's Maritime Operations Division for the agency's Transformational Reliable Acoustic Path System (TRAPS).
Leidos will implement procedures for the manufacturing of TRAPS nodes so that the Navy can utilize these systems without modification after Phase 4 to support a broad range of acoustic surveillance missions. TRAPS offers major benefits to the Navy's Distributed Network System (DNS) forward deployed acoustic surveillance mission. TRAPS gives operational mobility through rapid deployment of a battery-operated system, which has been demonstrated through multiple sea tests in operationally-relevant areas.
