(Reuters) -General Dynamics said on Thursday its information technology unit has secured an enterprise modernization contract worth $1.5 billion, to help support the U.S. Strategic Command, or STRATCOM.

The new contract, awarded to General Dynamics in May, covers a one-year base period and six option years.

Under the contract, General Dynamics will look to cut costs and increase efficiency — including integrating artificial intelligence technologies — for STRATCOM.

STRATCOM is a military body under the Pentagon overseeing the U.S. nuclear weapons arsenal, among other functions.

The company's technology unit already serves multiple combatant commands, including the U.S. Central Command.
