Leidos has received a $64 million task order for the integration and demonstration of the Airborne Reconnaissance Low-Enhanced ground surveillance and intelligence aircraft, the company announced on Tuesday.

The work and testing of three ARL-E platforms will be conducted at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Md., and following demonstrations will be delivered to the U. S. Army. Leidos Will integrate the already delivered Mission Equipment Payload

The ARL-E is designed to detect, track, and identify surface targets day or night under most weather conditions. It uses dual-optical high definition sensors, laser rangefinders and target designators, a long-range surface search radar, and radio wave direction finders which can give precise coordinates of enemy communication signals.
