Joey AroraHOST
Tell me more about what's the strategy there.
Paul LwinGUEST
Yeah, our strategy is to be agnostic to the platform, right? Obviously, Hanoi is an investor and a partner, but, you know, we have other partnerships, right? Even with companies that have invested in us, you know, we're exploring partnerships with Leidos, Fincantary, pretty much anyone building anything in the maritime space.
Paul LwinGUEST
Most recently, We had got a success memo for medium USB, where we took a 100-foot vessel that one of our partners in Hawaii called PacVar had been building, and we integrated our software stack onto it.
Paul LwinGUEST
What's beautiful about that approach is if you think about all the other competitors, they spent hundreds of millions of dollars building their medium USB.
Patrick HeffernanHOST
Thank you.
Patrick HeffernanHOST
Next week, we'll be talking about Leidos versus GDT.

Patrick HeffernanHOST
Don't forget to send us your key intelligence questions on business strategy, ecosystems, and management consulting through the form in the show notes below.
Wayne SandersHOST
They might partner together, but you're looking at your Blackbeard, Castilian types.
Wayne SandersHOST
You're looking at Coaspire, Zone 5, Leidos, Anduril.
Wayne SandersHOST
And then you're still going to have your Lockheeds and your RTXs and your Northropes.
Wayne SandersHOST
They've got to build those heavy strategic programs.
Scott WapnerHOST
What do you got?
Steve WeissPANELIST
I'm going with Leidos.
Steve WeissPANELIST
The stock's had a nice bounce off the lows, but still off the highs.
Steve WeissPANELIST
I agree that the defense trade has got some legs and will continue.

contractor.
Sam TangrediGUEST
My day job, I am at the Naval War College.
Sam TangrediGUEST
I'm the Leidos Chair of Future Warfare Studies.
Sam TangrediGUEST
Leidos Corporation gave a grant to the Naval War College Foundation so they get to name the chair.
Sam TangrediGUEST
So my day-to-day focus is not on history per se, but on future warfare studies.
Sam TangrediGUEST
And I conduct studies, I sponsor studies, and that sort of thing.
Peter QuinnGUEST
So USVs which are carried in a fleet and then deployed, I also see small USVs doing things like fitting into a container.
Peter QuinnGUEST
If you look at the Sea Archer you may have seen here from Leidos, that's designed to fit into a 40-foot container and be deployed.
Peter QuinnGUEST
That's the sort of thing that Army might deploy with them into theatre, unbox and then deploy.
Peter QuinnGUEST
So they're ones that you have to deploy into the theatre, and then they operate.
Anastasia ObisCORRESPONDENT
A company called Competitive Range Solutions filed a bid protest with the Government Accountability Office on October 8th.
Anastasia ObisCORRESPONDENT
And the company argues that adding combatant commands to the $11 billion Defense Enclave Services contract that was awarded to Leidos is outside the scope of that contract.
Anastasia ObisCORRESPONDENT
The company argues that the agency should have competed the network migration work instead of giving it to Leidos.
Anastasia ObisCORRESPONDENT
And they also argue that the sole source is the result of the agency's lack of adequate advanced planning and that DISA basically unreasonably bundled additional work.
Terry GertonHOST
DISA's decision to expand the contract has been challenged before.
Terry GertonHOST
So how is the agency justifying its decision to give the work to Leidos this time around?
Anastasia ObisCORRESPONDENT
Yeah, we talked about it, but just to give it a little more context, General Dynamics Information Technology challenged DISA's first attempt to add work to the Enclave contract.
Anastasia ObisCORRESPONDENT
The contract supports fourth estate network modernization efforts, and the company argued that DISA should have completed the requirement to migrate all 11 combatant commands to DoDNet rather than handing this work to Leidos.
KyleHOST
Keep that in mind, this missile detection.
KyleHOST
Under 2020 contract, SpaceX teamed with Leidos Corp to build four tracking layer satellites that are projected to launch in March with a hot production line pumping out an estimated 120 satellites per month.
KyleHOST
Andrew Penn, space industry, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

DOD under pressure to innovate.
Mike BermanGUEST
you know, maybe every month, every other month, all of the primes are there.
Mike BermanGUEST
So if you go to a place like Reston, Virginia, you're going to walk around and you're going to see SAIC and Leidos and Microsoft and Boeing, et cetera.
Mike BermanGUEST
So, you know, primes play a big role in this industry.
Mike BermanGUEST
A lot of people who are employed within the U.S. government are so via a prime.
