SAIC / Leidos.
documentedsource_actorPrivate Aerospace Contractors
Major DoD/IC systems-engineering contractor (founded 1969); split 2013 into Leidos (legal successor) + new SAIC.
Founded by physicist J. Robert Beyster in 1969; grew into a multibillion-dollar non-traditional defense contractor. Split in 2013: parent renamed Leidos, new SAIC spun off. Both deep in DoD/intelligence work. Crash-retrieval involvement appears only in disclosure-community commentary, not official record. Named in the 2026 Burlison FFRDC records inquiry as an entity of interest.
