Leidos (NYSE: LDOS), a leader in national security mission solutions, and CoreWeave (Nasdaq: CRWV), The Essential Cloud for AI™, are teaming up to provide secure, sovereign AI cloud services that can be used to help federal agencies build, train, deploy, and operate AI at mission scale.

The collaboration combines Leidos' decades of experience delivering mission-critical systems for the U.S. government with CoreWeave's AI-native cloud platform trusted by leading AI builders. Together the two companies aim to help turn AI into an operational advantage for the United States.

The IC and DoW are at an inflection point where AI-driven analysis has become a defining competitive advantage in national security. As a result, highly secure AI cloud capacity dedicated to U.S. government workloads is a top government priority. Together, Leidos and CoreWeave intend to bring dedicated, sovereign AI cloud services to IC and DoW missions, built with the same technology stack used for the most advanced AI deployments, and adapt the capabilities to meet the unique security, classification, and operational requirements of national security organizations. Features envisioned include:

• Classified AI Cloud Services – Secure environments for model training, fine-tuning, evaluation, deployment, and continuous monitoring.
• Intelligence Analyst Augmentation – AI-powered workflows for fusing intel from multiple sources, imagery analysis and exploitation, and decision support among others.
• Cyber AI Ranges – Cyber simulation, autonomous defense testing, threat modeling, vulnerability prioritization, and adversarial AI evaluation.
• Synthetic Data and Simulation – Secure generation of mission-relevant data, digital twins, and simulation environments for training and operational planning.
• Edge-to-Cloud AI Orchestration – Connect a centralized AI cloud platform with forward-deployed, disconnected, and tactical environments.

"Combining CoreWeave's AI cloud platform with our mission-grade federal integration accelerates delivery for IC and DoW priorities, expanding our nation's AI superiority," said Jason O'Connor, president, Leidos Intelligence. "This is the next evolution of mission technology—sovereign AI compute at scale, secure by design, mission integrated, operationally resilient, and ready for the realities of classified national security work. That is what our team will provide to our government partners."

"Artificial intelligence is becoming foundational to our nation, and federal teams need secure, scalable platforms to operationalize it," said Sachin Jain, chief operating officer, CoreWeave. "CoreWeave is trusted by many of the world's leading AI organizations to power the most complex workloads. Through CoreWeave Federal and our collaboration with Leidos, we intend to extend those capabilities to highly secure government environments with the performance, resilience, and operational rigor these missions require."

Within Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities (SCIF)- accredited data centers, CoreWeave plans to offer its AI-native cloud platform including purpose-built infrastructure, advanced networking, AI-optimized storage, and cloud-native orchestration for training and inference workloads. Leidos will lead mission integration, secure architecture accreditation support, cyber operations, data engineering, and customer delivery for intelligence and defense programs.

Together, the companies expect to accelerate delivery of mission-applied AI capabilities aligned with the unique needs of national security, and provide potential solutions to unify fragmented AI infrastructure and architectures in multiple domains.

The combined capabilities will be designed with federal security controls, auditability, model governance, data protection, and mission continuity as foundational requirements. Compute deployment and architecture will be determined by mission requirements and federal appropriation priorities.

The collaboration builds on the recent launch of CoreWeave Federal, CoreWeave's dedicated business focused on delivering AI cloud services to U.S. government agencies and the Defense Industrial Base.
