The Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore (CCS) is inviting public feedback on the proposed merger between Analogic Corporation and the Security Enterprise Solutions and Industrial and General Automation businesses of Leidos Inc. The merger, which was submitted for review on 14 July 2026, is under scrutiny to determine if it would significantly lessen competition in Singapore.
Analogic, controlled by Altaris LLC, operates globally in healthcare, industrial, and aviation security sectors, including the design and manufacture of advanced imaging and detection solutions. Leidos, based in Virginia, US, provides scientific and technical services, focusing on national security, defence, and health sectors. The merger would result in an overlap in the supply of checked and cabin baggage explosives detection systems (EDS) in Singapore.
The parties involved argue that the merger will not substantially reduce competition due to strong global and local competition, the ability of customers to switch suppliers, and the competitive nature of tender processes. They also claim that the merger will create a more capable company, enhancing their ability to meet global security needs.
CCS is seeking public input on the merger’s competitive impact from 22 July to 5 August 2026. Feedback can be submitted via the CCS website. The commission is particularly interested in views on how the merger might affect competition in the relevant markets. More details are available on the CCS website under the Public Consultation section.
