Leidos executives emphasize that building airport security systems represents a profound mission beyond mere business, driving innovations in AI, machine learning, and open architecture platforms. This stance comes as the company plans to spin off its airport and port security unit, combining it with Analogic to prioritize higher-growth sectors.
The ProSight open architecture platform integrates hardware and data from multiple vendors, unifying checkpoint operations for enhanced threat detection and passenger flow. Pro:Vision 3 body scanners leverage AI to analyze molecular data, flagging anomalous behaviors like novel smuggling tactics in electronics from specific regions before they become known threats.
These systems predict crowd bottlenecks, cut false alarms from items like sweater folds, and boost throughput to over 400 passengers per hour, easing security without compromising safety. Cybersecurity integration ensures resilient checkpoints through secure connectivity and data-driven operations.
Leidos’ end-to-end deployments maintain global airport checkpoints, positioning the firm as a leader in adaptive, intelligence-driven screening. The spin-off sharpens focus on core competencies while sustaining security technology advancements for aviation infrastructure.
