Leidos acquired Dynetics in 2019 and gained significant expertise in sensor satellites and payloads through that acquisition.
Leidos worked as a subcontractor to SpaceX under a $149,000,000 contract that SpaceX won in 2020 to build four satellites for the Space Development Agency’s Tracking Layer Tranche 0.
Northrop Grumman selected Leidos to supply infrared sensor payloads for the U.S. Space Development Agency’s missile-tracking satellite constellation in low Earth orbit.
Leidos was one of four companies that competed in 2020 for a Missile Defense Agency contract to design a hypersonic and ballistic missile-defense satellite and lost the contract to L3Harris and Northrop Grumman.
Under the contract with Northrop Grumman, Leidos will develop and build the sensor payload for a proliferated constellation of low Earth orbit satellites for the Tranche 1 Tracking Layer.
The 2022 GEOINT Innovation Summit will feature Paul Sartorius, Director of Geospatial-Intelligence Solutions at Leidos and Co-chair of the Commercial GEOINT Working Group at USGIF, as a senior-level speaker.
Leidos withdrew its protest with the Government Accountability Office on 2022-03-16, allowing the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency and General Dynamics Information Technology to proceed with the work.
