The company will support the ICON framework for sharing intelligence across the national security community.
ManTech International has captured a $1.4 billion task order for full-spectrum cyber solutions for agencies in the intelligence community, Defense Department and other parts of government.
The five-year order is for a range of advanced cyber solutions to support requirements of the Interagency Intelligence and Cyber Operations Network. ICON is a framework for sharing intelligence and cyber operations among various intelligence, DOD and other agencies.
“In a world where cyber threats evolve at an exponential pace, our goal is to ensure that our customers have ‘capability overmatch’ in any cyber battlespace scenario,” Barbara Haines-Parmele, president of ManTech’s intelligence sector, said in a release. “This task order provides an incredible opportunity to enhance, train and equip the force, contributing to force readiness and enabling effective operations.”
As part of the contract, ManTech will develop and deploy cyber solutions to enhance unit of effort and other cyber capabilities that can support ICON’s mission.
Separate to that, ManTech announced a $715 million contract award with the Marine Corps Warfighting Lab for research-and-development support focused on force design.
Force design is a Marine Corps effort to transform its force structure, weapons systems, equipment and training. That work will also take place over a five-year period.
