Analogic & Leidos Security Enterprise Solutions Announce Intent to Combine Under Analogic Leadership

Key Terms

regulatory approvals regulatory

Regulatory approvals are official permissions from government agencies that a company needs before launching a new product, service, or business activity. They matter because without this approval, the company might not be allowed to operate legally or sell its products, similar to how a driver needs a license to legally drive a car.

industrial automation technical

Industrial automation is the use of machines, control systems and software to perform manufacturing and production tasks with minimal human intervention, like a factory using programmable robots and sensors to assemble products. For investors it matters because automation can lower costs, raise output and improve consistency—similar to upgrading from a manual toolkit to a power tool—affecting a company’s profits, competitiveness and capital spending needs.

SALEM, N.H.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Analogic Corporation ("Analogic") and Leidos, Inc. (NYSE: LDOS) ("Leidos") today announced a definitive agreement to create a global security imaging and detection company through the combination of Analogic with Leidos' Security Enterprise Solutions, Ports & Borders and Industrial Automation businesses ("SES"). The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. Upon closing, the combined business will operate under the Analogic brand as a privately held company, led by Analogic's current Chief Executive Officer, Tom Ripp.

By combining two highly complementary organizations, we are creating a stronger, more capable company with the expertise and breadth of solutions to better meet evolving customer needs worldwide,” said Mr. Ripp. “This transaction expands our product portfolio and sales channels, enabling us to support global customers across the full lifecycle of security screening. Customers will benefit from simplified engagement, deeper domain expertise, and solutions that are better aligned with their operational and regulatory requirements.
