Leidos Lands $2.7 Billion Army Deal, Scaling Hypersonic Weapons Production

Leidos secured a $2.7 billion U.S. Army contract to transition hypersonic weapons from prototyping to full-scale production.

The agreement consolidates two major programs: the Common Hypersonic Glide Body (CHGB) and the Thermal Protection Shield (TPS).

This integration aims to streamline development and accelerate the delivery of advanced offensive capabilities to both the Army and Navy.

Leidos will focus on shortening production timelines and establishing a dependable supply chain for these critical components.

The move supports the Department of Defense’s broader strategy to field hypersonic systems at scale and maintain a strategic technological edge.
