Leidos and DHL form alliance to strengthen the future of UK Defence logistics

Leidos and DHL Supply Chain have formed the Logistics & Mission Support Alliance to support the UK Ministry of Defence's Future Defence Support Services (FDSS) programme.

The partnership combines Leidos’ defence integration expertise with DHL’s global logistics capabilities to deliver resilient, scalable and agile logistics support. If selected, the alliance will help modernise Defence logistics, strengthen operational readiness and improve resilience for the UK Armed Forces.

Operating as a single integrated team, the alliance will use advanced technologies, including artificial intelligence, data analytics and automation, to optimise logistics operations, improve visibility across supply chains and support faster, more informed decision-making.

Martin Willmor, Chief Executive Officer, DHL Supply Chain UK&I, said:

“The FDSS Programme presents an opportunity to modernise support of UK Defence at a time of increasing operational complexity.

“DHL brings global logistics scale, advanced digital capabilities and proven operational leadership, and by working in partnership with Leidos, we aim to enable a more integrated, resilient and responsive supply chain that helps the MOD maximise its strategic advantage.”
