Leidos (NYSE: LDOS) and CoreWeave (Nasdaq: CRWV) announced a collaboration to provide secure AI cloud services to the U.S. Intelligence Community and the Department of Defense, according to a joint press release.

Under the arrangement, CoreWeave will supply its AI-native cloud platform, while Leidos will lead mission integration, secure architecture accreditation support, cyber operations, and data engineering for intelligence and defense programs. CoreWeave plans to deploy its platform within Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities (SCIF)-accredited data centers.

The planned capabilities include classified AI cloud services for model training and deployment, intelligence analyst augmentation tools, cyber simulation ranges, synthetic data generation, and edge-to-cloud AI orchestration for tactical environments.

"Combining CoreWeave's AI cloud platform with our mission-grade federal integration accelerates delivery for IC and DoW priorities," said Jason O'Connor, president of Leidos Intelligence.

Sachin Jain, chief operating officer of CoreWeave, said the collaboration intends to extend the company's platform capabilities "to highly secure government environments with the performance, resilience, and operational rigor these missions require."

The collaboration builds on the recent launch of CoreWeave Federal, a dedicated business unit focused on delivering AI cloud services to U.S. government agencies and the Defense Industrial Base. The companies noted that definitive agreements have not yet been finalized, and there is no assurance the contemplated transactions will be completed.

Leidos reported annual revenues of approximately $17.2 billion for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2026, and employs more than 50,000 people globally. CoreWeave completed its public listing on Nasdaq in March 2025.
