# Leidos Forecasts $1B Annual Munitions Sales

Leidos CEO Tom Bell said missile products in development or low-rate production could support $1 billion in annual munitions sales by 2030. The forecast reflects anticipated Department of Defense demand to expand stockpiles and magazine depth, but the signal identifies no solicitation, award, contract value, or procurement timeline. For procurement professionals and contractors, this is an industry demand indicator—not a current contracting opportunity.

- Leidos’s forecast is tied to missile products that are still in development or low-rate production; the signal does not specify systems, quantities, or production milestones.
- Munitions manufacturers and suppliers may use the projected demand as context when evaluating production capacity and supply-chain readiness, while recognizing that no specific procurement action is announced.
