Leidos and Aalyria joining forces to revolutionize security and resiliency of complex global scale critical networks
(Reston, Va.) Jun. 19, 2023 – Leidos (NYSE:LDOS), a FORTUNE® 500 science and technology leader, and Aalyria, a new enterprise in advanced networking and communications, announced today that they will join forces to integrate Aalyria’s Spacetime networking technology with Leidos’ global-scale network management and protection solutions for critical government missions. By integrating Spacetime into new and existing solutions, the companies are developing multi-domain mission infrastructure capabilities that are secure, resilient and capable of spanning air, land, sea and space.
Leidos has begun simulating the large-scale critical nation-state networks it helps manage, such as the Defense Information Systems Agency’s (DISA) Defense Information Systems Network (DISN), using Aalyria’s unique technology with the aim of developing an operational decision support and orchestration solution for the companies’ government customers.
“Leveraging the capabilities of both organizations, our strategic relationship with Aalyria centers around combining Aalyria’s advanced Spacetime networking technology with our global-scale network management and protection capabilities,” said Chad Haferbier, Leidos vice president of multidomain operations solutions. “Leidos’ proven national security experience, paired with Aalyria's leading-edge technology, will deliver operational advantages to strengthen U.S. and allied national security through joint multi-domain operations (MDO) solutions. We look forward to combining our joint capabilities to provide intrinsic resilience and an open architecture approach.”
“Aalyria and Leidos together solving national security challenges is exactly what the nation needs. Our all-domain network orchestration platform combined with Leidos’ world class, time-tested integration of technology solutions gives America the edge,” said Chris Taylor, CEO of Aalyria. “We’re excited to team with Leidos to strengthen our national security interests. Spacetime can do things that people have long dreamed about but never thought possible. This collaboration with Leidos will help us integrate Spacetime into more systems and solutions, ultimately realizing a complete cJADC2 capability.”
As a Systems Integrator, Leidos will utilize its enterprise-scale development capabilities and engineering expertise to integrate Aalyria’s advanced network routing software platform, Spacetime, with Department of Defense enterprise IT network orchestration and tactical terrestrial, airborne and space-based data links. Leidos is leveraging its deep domain and technology experience in key areas, including cyber, to develop unique complements to the Spacetime platform.
