Teaming Award
Congratulations to Leidos and Acacia Systems
for winning the Teaming Award for their collaborative partnership on the Dash-8 fleet modification. This project will see Acacia, together with Leidos, upgrade critical technology on board the Dash-8 aircraft and within the ground operations command centre. The project fundamentally addresses technology obsolescence.
Leidos and Acacia have innovated to create the first surveillance Mission Management System of this kind in Australia from conception through to application. The Mission Management System has application to other airborne platforms that have a need to collect, interpret and disseminate data generated from technologies onboard an aircraft.
