Leidos installed its Terminal Flight Data Manager system at Washington D.C.’s Reagan National Airport to replace paper flight strips with a fully digital platform. The FAA’s deployment, initiated June 2025, was completed in roughly 10 months—45% faster than the typical 18-month cycle.

The digital system provides controllers with real-time traffic data, predictive modeling tools, and an integrated surface display to optimize ground movements, reduce delays, and enhance safety. Shared, real-time views of flight activity improve coordination among controllers, air traffic managers, and airline operators.

Ten airports now operate TFDM systems, with additional deployments scheduled, underscoring Leidos’ growing presence in air traffic management across four continents. The company reported fiscal 2026 revenues of $17.2 billion and employs 47,000 staff, positioning it for further contract wins and revenue growth.
