Leidos (LDOS) Builds the Pentagon a Tool That Cuts Satellite Reporting Time by 85%

Leidos Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:LDOS) is one of the best tech stocks to invest in on the dip. On June 4, Leidos Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:LDOS) announced the deployment of a new cloud-based satellite communications tool called the Joint Management Tool, or JMT. Leidos said the JMT is developed in partnership with the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) and US Space Command, and that the objective is to improve how military operators across the Department of War access and manage satellite communications (SATCOM) resources worldwide.

According to Leidos, the JMT solves the problem of fragmentation. It noted that before this tool, military operators used manual and time-intensive processes spread across multiple commands and agencies to manage global SATCOM resources. Now, the JMT consolidates service requests and operational oversight into a single enterprise environment. For that reason, operators have real-time visibility into available satellite communications assets. Put simply, commanders in the field can now see what connectivity resources are available, request access, and act faster without being slowed down by administrative bottlenecks.

The company said it expects the JMT’s automated dashboard to cut command-level reporting and analysis time by up to 85%. This tool replaces a legacy DISA system that had been in use since 2004. Leidos said it only took one year to develop and deploy the replacement, and that it used commercial off-the-shelf telecommunications modules for the development.
