Major US defense contractor Leidos is partnering with specialized AI cloud provider CoreWeave to offer secure, air-gapped AI compute capabilities to US defense, intelligence, and federal agencies. Leidos will integrate its proprietary AI/ML solutions onto CoreWeave’s FedRAMP-compliant private cloud infrastructure, creating a new channel for deploying sensitive AI workloads.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Defense Tech. Wire is Fusion42's founder-focused intelligence feed: each story is connected to the funds and startups it names — every one with a live profile on Raise or Scout — so founders can follow the capital and the momentum behind the headline rather than just the headline itself. Wire analysis is one of the live surfaces Arthur reasons over.

◆ The Wire takeaway

The US government's path for buying secure AI is solidifying around prime contractors bringing in specialist cloud partners. Your route to a defence contract is no longer just getting onto AWS GovCloud; it's getting your software onto the Leidos-CoreWeave stack.
