  "summary": "Leidos is tracked across AI employer visibility rankings in the Aerospace sector. When candidates research the company through AI, it appears in a moderate share of employer-related queries — ranking #20 out of 57 Aerospace companies in the PerceptionX index.\n\nAI models most frequently position Leidos alongside Lockheed Martin, Boeing, and Northrop Grumman when discussing Aerospace employers.\n\nThe company shows strongest employer visibility in Career Opportunities and Job Security. Visibility gaps exist in Application & Communication, Candidate Feedback and Company Culture, where competitors tend to dominate the AI narrative.\n\nLeidos's Visibility Score has risen from 2.2 to 7.7 across its last 3 measurements (since February 2026), climbing 17 places in the Aerospace rankings. Over that period it has moved ahead of Pratt & Whitney and BAE Systems. Spirit Aerosystems and Sierra Nevada have moved ahead of it. It now trails Virgin by 2.6 points.\n\nThis analysis is based on AI-generated responses from ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Perplexity. Data is refreshed regularly to reflect changes in AI employer perception.",

Responses from other assistants (e.g. Claude, DeepSeek) are collected for research but not included in index scoring.",
