Leidos has announced a strategic joint venture with investment firm Altaris to combine its Security Enterprise Solutions (SES) business with Analogic. This move is aimed at strengthening global security screening capabilities across airports, borders, and critical infrastructure.
The newly formed U.S.-based enterprise will bring together advanced detection systems, imaging technologies, and engineering expertise to create a more powerful and efficient security solutions provider. By integrating complementary capabilities, the joint venture is expected to accelerate innovation while improving operational efficiency across research, manufacturing, and deployment of next-generation screening technologies.
A key focus of the partnership is the advancement of AI-native and 3D imaging solutions, which are becoming increasingly critical in modern security environments. These technologies are designed to enhance threat detection accuracy while ensuring smoother and faster screening processes for travelers and goods, ultimately supporting the secure flow of global commerce.
According to Tom Bell, the joint venture represents a significant step toward strengthening U.S. leadership in security detection technologies at a time when global travel and trade continue to expand. He emphasized that combining SES with Analogic will enable greater investment in innovation and ensure that cutting-edge security solutions are developed and engineered within the United States.
Echoing this sentiment, Tom Ripp noted that the partnership marks a major milestone for both organizations and the broader security industry. By uniting two highly complementary businesses, the new entity will be better equipped to meet evolving customer demands and deliver comprehensive solutions on a global scale.
The joint venture also aligns with Leidos’s broader growth strategy, allowing the company to continue investing in its core priorities under its NorthStar 2030 vision. As security challenges become more complex, this collaboration positions the new enterprise to lead in the global detection and imaging market while enhancing safety, efficiency, and innovation worldwide.
