Aetos Systems, Inc. — Kennedy Space Center, FL
Aetos Systems, Inc. filed a WARN notice reporting up to 126 potentially affected workers at its facility in Kennedy Space Center, Brevard County, Florida, per a WARN filing with state regulators. The filing states that Aetos, a subcontractor to Leidos on NASA’s AEGIS contract, faces a permanent change after portions of work at Kennedy Space Center are to be in-sourced by NASA, which could lead Aetos to terminate up to 126 employees by December 31, 2026.
The WARN notice identifies the roles potentially affected as communications systems engineers, electronic and network technicians, instrumentation and field systems specialists, senior CAD drafters, photo planners, systems planning specialists and training coordinators. The filing says workers who accept in-sourced offers from NASA may avoid termination; for those not transferred, layoffs would proceed under collective bargaining agreements and displacement/seniority rules. The company and the WARN filing characterize the change as permanent and state all 126 potentially affected workers are union-represented.

Altera Digital Health, Inc. submitted a WARN filing with state regulators reporting plans that could affect 133 employees, according to that filing. The notice lists a termination date of December 31, 2026; the filing itself was the basis for the reported count and timing.
