Leidos secured a $2.7 billion U.S. Army contract to transition hypersonic weapons from prototypes to full-scale production.
The award consolidates the Thermal Protection Shield (TPS) and Common Hypersonic Glide Body (CHGB) programs. This integration aims to streamline development and accelerate delivery timelines for the military.
The Pentagon identifies hypersonic strike capabilities as a top defense modernization priority. Leidos will leverage its subsidiary, Dynetics, to improve manufacturing efficiency and strengthen the component supply chain.
