The shares of Leidos Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: LDOS) concluded the previous session practically unchanged at $107.82 following a slight increase of less than 1%. The resiliency in Leidos stock followed an updated analyst recommendation and the implementation of a new communication system. The share price of Leidos (LDOS) increased after its stock recommendation was upgraded by Barclays. The analysis firm’s earlier “Equal Weight” rating has been upgraded to “Overweight” presently.
Furthermore, Leidos (LDOS) announced an effective implementation of an innovative Flight Service Voice Communications System (FSVCS) based on Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology. The system, developed in collaboration with Rohde & Schwarz USA, is the first ED-137C-compliant system to enter US airspace.
The deployment reaffirmed LDOS’ commitment to promoting the aviation sector via innovation. This accomplishment demonstrates Leidos’ commitment to developing the future of air travel by promoting safer skies and seamless communication for everybody. The network-centric strategy of the FSVCS was designed specifically for the Future Flight Services Program (FFSP).
The adaptable and expandable technology interfaces with old analog connections as well as modern digital voice communication. The concept reduces reliance on traditional point-to-point communications while increasing voice availability among general aviation pilots. The FSVCS is a fully accessible, globally connected voice enterprise solution with expanded capabilities for monitoring radio frequencies via a single location.
This upgrade increases service optimization flexibility by establishing full diversity across Flight Service facilities. This cutting-edge technology promotes improved availability and business continuity, which directly benefits pilots and improves flight safety in the United States.
With the integration of VoIP communication with Air to Ground Media Gateways (AGMG) at six Air Route Traffic Control Centers across the United States, the FSVCS system gained full operational capability in October 2023. This deployment is a continuation of the Flight Services supplied under the FFSP contract, which Leidos was granted in 2019.
