HUNTSVILLE, Alabama
– Science Applications International Corp. (SAIC), one of Huntsville’s key high-technology companies, is splitting into two companies later this year, but top executives say it will not cause major changes for the company’s approximately 2,500 employees here or its major government customers.
After the split will be a new SAIC, a smaller company retaining the original name and focused on federal government contracting, and Leidos, a new, larger company focused on energy, security and health care markets. For comparison, SAIC will be valued at $4 billion, and Leidos will be a $7 billion company.
