Leidos and Altaris have closed their deal to form Analogic, a scaled U.S.-based joint venture for advancing security screening at airports, borders and critical infrastructure worldwide.
The new company combines complementary security screening technologies, engineering expertise and advanced manufacturing capabilities, Leidos said.
Leidos will keep a significant minority ownership stake in the company and maintain its interests in a critical national security market.
“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.”
In alignment with Analogic’s mission, Leidos will continue its work across the aviation ecosystem, including airport and air traffic system modernization.
“The strategic combination of these two businesses into one reinforces our commitment to the important national security missions and markets we serve,” Bell said.
