The U.S Defence Information Systems Agency (DISA) has awarded EDS a five-year, US $34 million contract renewal. Under the terms of the agreement EDS will continue supporting DISA’s Multinational Information Sharing (MNIS) program.

The aim of the project is to enhance the mission capabilities and effectiveness of the MNIS Program Management Office. The final goal of the development is to ensure seamless information sharing among U.S. forces with their allied and coalition partners for military operations planning purposes.

The services EDS will provide include systems engineering and technical assistance support. The MNIS program facilitates the sharing of encrypted information in a single joint environment to effective communication and promote teamwork among Department of Defence components, Combatant Commands and eligible foreign nations.
