Leidos announced AirShield™, the new name for its latest solution for counter-unmanned aerial system (C-UAS) missions. The next step in the evolution of the system’s architecture will include expanded capabilities featuring both kinetic and non-kinetic effectors. The reintroduction comes amid the company’s desire to highlight how its successfully tested technology stands out from other options already on the market.

Leidos and the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Aviation and Missile Center's Advanced Multilayered Mobile Force Protection team demonstrated the successful operation of its Counter - small Unmanned Aerial System at the Maneuver and Fires Integration Experiment (MFIX) 2024.

Leidos was recently awarded a new prime contract to develop an uncrewed aircraft system that can autonomously resupply forward-deployed ground forces.
