Headquartered in Huntsville, AL

Aviation & Missile Solutions, LLC (AMS) was founded in 1999 when two local defense contractors came together to form a joint venture. Their mission was clear: to combine their expertise and offer the U.S. Army’s AMCOM EXPRESS contract the widest range of engineering services and capabilities.

In 2017, AMS became a wholly owned subsidiary of its former parent company, a Huntsville-based aerospace and defense contractor. The company continued to support their customers by delivering top-tier engineering services. In 2020, the former parent company was acquired by a larger, publicly traded contractor, which ultimately led to the divesture of AMS. A group of investors and executives, committed to continuing AMS’s legacy, purchased the company with a renewed focus on critical air and missile defense technologies, research and development and hardware prototyping government contracts. This transition marked the beginning of an exciting new chapter for AMS.

On July 1, 2024, AMS took another monumental step by transitioning to an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). This move reinforced the company’s commitment to its people, ensuring that every employee now has a direct stake in the company’s future.

Today, AMS continues to lead in advancing radar and missile defense technologies that protect our nation. With nearly 250 employees, the company remains committed to solving its customers’ toughest challenges.

AMS is headquartered in Huntsville, AL and its parent company, Aviation & Missile Holdings, Inc., is incorporated in Delaware.
