Leidos and investment firm Altaris have formed a joint venture combining Leidos’ Security Enterprise Solutions business and Altaris-owned Analogic into a single U.S.-based company with global reach.
The deal brings together complementary detection technologies, manufacturing capabilities and engineering expertise aimed at advancing security screening for airports, borders and critical infrastructure customers worldwide. The combined company will focus on AI-native and 3D imaging solutions, with consolidation expected to unlock efficiencies in research, development and manufacturing.
“Our unified joint venture represents a focused step to strengthen U.S. capabilities in security detection at a time when global travel and trade continue to grow,” said Leidos CEO Tom Bell. “Combining SES with Analogic will position the new company to promote investment in innovation, deliver more efficient solutions for the U.S. government and ensure that the world’s advanced security technology is designed and engineered from the United States.”
The joint venture also allows Leidos to continue investing in core growth areas under its NorthStar 2030 strategy.
“Today marks an important milestone for our company and for the security industry,” said Analogic CEO Tom Ripp. “By combining two highly complementary organizations, we are creating a stronger, more capable company with the expertise and breadth of solutions to better meet evolving customer needs worldwide.”
