RESTON, Virginia. Leidos acquired Kudu Dynamics to strengthen its portfolio of artificial intelligence (AI)-driven cyber capabilities supporting defense, intelligence, and homeland security operations, the company announced in a statement.
The acquisition, valued at approximately $300 million and finalized on May 23, is aimed at advancing Leidos’ development of AI-enabled technologies for offensive cyber operations, electromagnetic spectrum activities, and vulnerability research, the statement reads.
