General Dynamics Wins $1.25 Billion IT Contract to Support U.S. Army in Europe and Africa
General Dynamics Information Technology (GDIT), the tech services arm of defense giant General Dynamics, announced it has been awarded a $1.25 billion contract to provide long-term IT and communications support for the U.S. Army’s operations in Europe and Africa.
The contract — part of the Enterprise Mission Information Technology Services 2 (EMITS 2) task order — was awarded in September and includes a five-month transition period followed by seven optional years of service.
Under the EMITS 2 program, GDIT will deliver a range of capabilities, including:
-
Enterprise IT and communications infrastructure,
-
Mission command support services,
-
Assistance for Army headquarters, subordinate commands, NATO units, and allied partners operating across both continents.
The new contract underscores GDIT’s expanding role as a core technology partner for U.S. defense operations abroad. It comes just one week after the company announced a separate $1.5 billion modernization contract with U.S. Strategic Command (STRATCOM), focused on improving efficiency and cutting costs through AI-driven integration and enterprise system upgrades.
GDIT President Amy Gilliland said earlier this year that the firm’s mission is to “deliver secure, resilient technology solutions that strengthen national defense operations globally.”
With the U.S. military increasingly emphasizing digital transformation, data security, and battlefield connectivity, GDIT’s dual contracts position the company as a central player in shaping how the Department of Defense deploys advanced IT and AI capabilities across global theaters.
