Griffon Aerospace Books $402M Army Contract for Aerial Target Production

Griffon Aerospace, a Madison, Alabama-based small business, will deliver unmanned aircraft system targets to the U.S. Army under a four-year, $401.8 million firm-fixed-price contract.

The aerospace product manufacturer was also tasked to provide the service branch with aerial target support equipment and services, training and mission payload system devices, the Department of Defense said Wednesday.

Griffon Aerospace, the sole bidder on the Army Contracting Command-led online solicitation, is expected to complete contract work by June 14, 2026. Performance locations and funding will depend on each order.

The company previously supplied the Army with aerial targets as part of a two-year, $49.9M contract awarded in February 2020. Orders were for MQM-171 Broadsword and MQM-170 Outlaw UAS targets as well as associated support services.
