Defense: Washington Signed $9.49 Million in SitaWare Licenses for Morocco

n May 4, 2026, the U.S. Department of the Air Force signed a $9.49 million contract with Systematic Inc., the American subsidiary of the Danish software house Systematic, on behalf of the Kingdom of Morocco. The federal spending register, USAspending, states its purpose plainly: perpetual licenses for several suites of the SitaWare command and control software, training for collective exercises, and embedded expert assistance alongside the users. Of that sum, $8.5 million is already obligated, and performance runs until April 30, 2029. The money is foreign, under Foreign Military Sales, and the program sits with the U.S. Army office in charge of command, control and communications networks.

The contract was not competed: awarded sole source on a single offer, it invokes the international agreement exception, the one that applies notably when the paying state names its own supplier. SitaWare is not a weapon but a shared map: a family of programs that carries the same picture of the tactical situation between headquarters and units in the field, and that the U.S. Army uses in its own command posts. The federal record does not say which modules were chosen, nor which units of the Royal Armed Forces will receive them. What the award describes, in short, is an investment in coordination rather than firepower, and three years of embedded experts will tell whether the tool has found its place in the Moroccan chain of command.
