Key points
- Leidos won a $95 million five‑year contract to add AI automation to the Pentagon’s ELMS.
- ELMS manages over 80 million items worth more than $140 billion for more than 50 agencies.
- Leidos also partnered with Rune Technologies on AI‑enabled predictive logistics for Indo‑Pacific operations.
The contract, which runs through August 2031, extends two decades of Leidos support for ELMS and its predecessor, the Defense Property Accountability System. Leidos says the AI, cloud and modern software practices will accelerate delivery, streamline processes and improve the security and reliability of logistics operations. The company linked the award to its NorthStar 2030 strategy, which aims to provide mission‑ready defense technology.
Earlier in 2026 Leidos partnered with Rune Technologies to embed AI‑enabled predictive sustainment tools that help commanders anticipate logistics demand in contested Indo‑Pacific environments. The partnership combines Rune’s predictive logistics software with Leidos’ decision‑advantage capabilities, a move the firms say already improves visibility and readiness for dispersed forces.
