In 1969, with a few dollars and a good idea, visionary scientist J. Robert Beyster, Ph.D. founded what would eventually become Leidos. Dr. Beyster started Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) with a vision to create a company where employees could apply their scientific expertise to solve the nation's most challenging problems. His innovative approach to employee ownership and technical excellence laid the foundation for decades of growth and transformation.
