Leidos Demonstrates Tactical Cyber Detection Capability During Valiant Shield 2026
Leidos, Monday, July 27th, 2026
Leidos showed real-time cyber threat detection for connected mission systems during the Valiant Shield exercise.
Leidos successfully demonstrated a tactical cyber detection capability during Valiant Shield 2026, showing how military operators can spot potential cyber threats to connected mission systems in real time.
Detection in tactical environments is constrained by bandwidth, intermittent connectivity, and the need for operators rather than analysts to act on the output. The demonstration took place in a live exercise context rather than a laboratory.
Leidos covers what the capability detected and how results were surfaced to operators. Valiant Shield is a recurring US joint military exercise.
