RESTON, VA and LIVINGSTON, NJ, Aug 5, 2026 – Leidos and CoreWeave plan to place CoreWeave’s AI cloud platform inside Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities (SCIF) – accredited data centers, giving Intelligence Community (IC) and Department of Defense (DoW) agencies infrastructure to train, deploy, and run AI models on classified workloads.
Leidos will lead mission integration, secure architecture accreditation support, cyber operations, data engineering, and customer delivery. CoreWeave provides the platform: purpose-built hardware, networking, AI-optimized storage, and cloud-native orchestration for training and inference.
The collaboration will include:
- Classified AI Cloud Services – Secure environments for model training, evaluation, deployment, and continuous monitoring.
- Intelligence Analyst Augmentation – AI-powered workflows for fusing intel from multiple sources, imagery analysis and exploitation, and decision support.
- Cyber AI Ranges – Cyber simulation, defense testing, threat modeling, vulnerability prioritization, and adversarial AI evaluation.
- Synthetic Data and Simulation – Secure generation of mission-relevant data, digital twins, and simulation environments for training and operational planning.
- Edge-to-Cloud AI Orchestration – Connecting a centralized AI cloud platform with forward-deployed, disconnected, and tactical environments.
“Combining CoreWeave’s AI cloud platform with our mission-grade federal integration accelerates delivery for IC and DoW priorities, expanding our nation’s AI superiority,” said Jason O’Connor, president, Leidos Intelligence. “This is the next evolution of mission technology – sovereign AI compute at scale, secure by design, mission integrated, operationally resilient, and ready for the realities of classified national security work. That is what our team will provide to our government partners.”
“Artificial intelligence is becoming foundational to our nation, and federal teams need secure, scalable platforms to operationalize it,” said Sachin Jain, chief operating officer, CoreWeave. “CoreWeave is trusted by many of the world’s leading AI organizations to power the most complex workloads. Through CoreWeave Federal and our collaboration with Leidos, we intend to extend those capabilities to highly secure government environments with the performance, resilience, and operational rigor these missions require.”
The effort builds on CoreWeave Federal, CoreWeave’s business delivering AI cloud services to U.S. government agencies and the Defense Industrial Base. Federal security controls, auditability, model governance, data protection, and mission continuity are foundational to the combined design. Compute deployment and architecture will follow mission requirements and federal appropriation priorities.
