Aetos Systems Faces Largest Cut Among Four Firms Reporting Job Reductions
Four employers disclosed layoffs affecting 298 workers, led by Aetos Systems, Inc.'s 126 roles tied to NASA work transitions.
Aetos Systems, Inc. is leading a series of small-to-mid‑sized workforce reductions disclosed between Oct. 21 and Oct. 22, 2026, with three other companies filing notices that together affect 298 employees.
Aetos Systems, Inc. filed a Florida WARN notice, reported by WhatNow, listing 126 employees at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida potentially affected by permanent job cuts tied to work on the AEGIS contract for Leidos. The filing, dated in October, states the reductions are scheduled to occur between Dec. 1 and Dec. 31, 2026, and attributes the cuts to NASA transitioning work back to civil servants rather than outsourcing, per WhatNow. The notice says employees who do not accept in‑sourced offers from NASA may be terminated by Aetos and that the terminations are understood to be permanent. The filing also notes all 126 workers are union‑represented (118 by IBEW Local 2088 and 8 by I.A.T.S.E. Local 780) and directs affected staff to union leadership and Aetos’ vice president of corporate operations for assistance.
Three other employers filed WARN notices during the same reporting window: Digital Room LLC disclosed cuts affecting 69 employees, Republic Amusements listed 48 jobs potentially eliminated, and Mars Information Services reported plans affecting 55 employees. Each of those counts was disclosed in a WARN filing with state regulators.
Combined, the four filings account for 298 employees across the affected firms. Dates shown in the filings vary: the Aetos filing was reported on Oct. 16 and schedules December reductions; the other WARN notices list separate dates in the filings provided to regulators.
No additional details on severance, recall provisions or specific site locations beyond Aetos’ Kennedy Space Center posting were included in the public WARN filings cited above.
