Leidos has been awarded a Defense Intelligence Agency contract to develop a document exploitation (DOMEX) system.

Under the $47 million contract, the company will develop the DOMEX Data Discovery Platform, or D3P, according to a news release.

“D3P, under development by Leidos for the National Media Exploitation Center, delivers timely and complete document exploitation to make preconditioned DOMEX discoverable and available to the intelligence community,” Leidos said.

“Leidos will apply a layered, microservices-based architecture that integrates leading Free Libre and open-source software tools to deliver a secure, scalable, modular, and flexible platform for highly efficient integration of data and advanced analytics.”

Leidos will provide multiple services for the project, including data science and engineering, software development, enterprise information technology services, and systems engineering and integration.
