Leidos and investment firm Altaris have completed their previously announced transaction to form a US-based joint venture (JV) focused on security screening at airports, borders and critical infrastructure worldwide.
The new company will operate under the Analogic brand. It combines the security screening technologies, engineering expertise and manufacturing capabilities of Leidos Security Enterprise Solutions and Analogic. Leidos will retain a significant minority ownership stake.
“This JV creates an American innovator with the technology, talent and scale to address rapidly evolving global security screening needs,” said Leidos CEO Tom Bell. “Its launch also sharpens our focus on the growth engines driving our NorthStar 2030 strategy.”
Leidos said it will continue its work across the broader aviation ecosystem, including modernizing airports and air traffic systems.
“The strategic combination of these two businesses into one reinforces our commitment to the important national security missions and markets we serve,” Bell added.
