HUNTSVILLE, Ala. – Dec. 17, 2024 – Aviation & Missile Solutions, LLC, has been awarded a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II contract from the Department of the Navy, Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane Division. The contract has a one million dollar base value and a $300K option. AMS is the sole performer on phase II of the contract following the successful execution of phase I, among three awardees.
Leveraging AMS experience in air and missile defense through support to defense intelligence and Army aviation and missile systems, SBIR Phase II will focus on the development of a multimode infrared and radiofrequency seeker surrogate testbed. This capability will assist the Navy in air survivability studies against next-generation air-to-air missile, surface-to-air missile and man-portable air defense system threats.

As the prime contractor, AMS will deliver the Navy a baseline digital simulation capability that allows an efficient means to improve air survivability equipment against multimode seekers.
“We’re ensuring our armed forces stay ahead of current and future threats and are equipped with better, more-resilient testing so that they are ready to face future challenges with confidence,” said Cross.
The base period is 30 months with a 12-month option based on the exercise date. Work will be performed in Huntsville, Alabama.
