On Oct 17, 2025, Leidos Holdings, Inc. and VML, a WPP subsidiary, announced the creation of Imperium, an AI‑powered technology platform designed to enhance U.S. information operations. The platform integrates Leidos’ Trusted Mission AI to provide advanced planning, implementation, analysis, and assessment tools that comply with compliance frameworks and ethical standards. Imperium is positioned to give U.S. combatant commands faster, more agile information operations capabilities. The announcement notes that Imperium can automatically recognize shifting narratives, emerging threats, and opportunities for proactive response, enabling mission planning efficiency gains that reduce certain tasks from days to hours. Initial tests demonstrated the platform’s ability to boost mission planning efficiency, with reductions in task duration reported by early users. The collaboration leverages Leidos’ deep expertise in AI and national security, combined with VML’s global communications capabilities. This launch represents a strategic expansion of Leidos’ Trusted Mission AI portfolio into the information operations domain, potentially opening new revenue streams and strengthening its position in the U.S. defense and intelligence markets. By partnering with a global communications firm, Leidos broadens its reach into commercial and public‑sector clients that require sophisticated information dominance tools. The platform’s deployment is expected to support U.S. combatant commands and allied partners in executing and assessing information operations more effectively.
