Leidos to merge security units with Analogic to form imaging powerhouse

Leidos (NYSE:LDOS) and Analogic Corporation have announced a definitive agreement to combine their respective security and detection assets into a unified, global security imaging and detection company.

The transaction involves the merger of Analogic with Leidos’ Security Enterprise Solutions (SES), Ports & Borders, and Industrial Automation business lines.

This strategic consolidation aims to create a vertically integrated leader in the high-stakes security screening and threat detection market.

Under the terms of the agreement, the newly formed entity will operate as a privately held company under the established Analogic brand.

Tom Ripp, the current Chief Executive Officer of Analogic, is slated to lead the combined organization upon completion of the deal.

The move is expected to streamline the delivery of advanced imaging technologies used in aviation, border protection, and critical infrastructure, combining Leidos' expansive service footprint with Analogic's specialized hardware engineering capabilities.

The transaction is scheduled to close in the second half of 2026, pending customary closing conditions and required regulatory approvals.
