Leidos

Leidos is a United States technology, engineering, and defense manufacturer whose catalog-relevant work sits mainly in precision strike, integrated air and missile defense, hypersonic support, sensors, and mission systems. Its weapons-facing portfolio includes Dynetics-developed systems such as the GBU-69 Small Glide Munition and the Enduring Shield air-defense launcher.

Leidos Holdings is headquartered in Reston, Virginia and serves U.S. and allied government customers across defense, intelligence, civil, health, commercial, and international markets. In its fiscal 2025 annual report, the company described Defense Systems as the segment that rapidly prototypes and delivers advanced hardware, software, and integrated systems for U.S. defense agencies, special operations, DARPA, and intelligence customers.

The company's manufacturer context in this catalog is concentrated in Leidos' Defense Systems and Dynetics lines rather than in the broader government-services portfolio. Leidos completed its acquisition of Dynetics in January 2020, bringing a Huntsville-based applied research and national-security engineering company into the group. Official Leidos material now presents Dynetics and Leidos-branded strike-system work together, including Small Glide Munition and Enduring Shield.

It combines GPS navigation, semi-active laser terminal guidance, fold-out wings, lattice tail controls, and a 36-lb blast-fragmentation warhead in a roughly 60-lb munition. Amnesty International identified GBU-69/B fragments from a November 2017 U.S. strike in Somalia, making Somalia the record's directly sourced conflict-use context.
