About this award
The Air Force Research Laboratory awarded a $55.8 million firm fixed-price definitive contract to Castelion Corporation on October 2, 2024, for the production of a low-cost, highly manufacturable long-range strike weapon under the Small Business Innovation Research Phase III program. The contract, which carries an ultimate completion date of November 26, 2026, represents the culmination of prior SBIR phases and transitions the technology from development into production. Work will be performed at Castelion's facility in El Segundo, California. This award carries no small business set-aside designation, though Castelion qualifies as a small business contractor and has demonstrated extensive experience in advanced defense technology development through its portfolio of over $103 million in federal contract awards.
Castelion Corporation, headquartered in Torrance, California, brings substantial relevant expertise to this engagement, having previously secured $16.97 million in SBIR funding in September 2023 for the Future Operational Capabilities for the US low-cost missile program, which likely represents an earlier phase of the current production effort. The company maintains prime contractor positions on significant Air Force vehicles, including the Eglin Wide Agile Acquisition Contract, a $46 billion multiple-award indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity vehicle, positioning it favorably within the Department of Defense acquisition landscape for rapid prototyping and agile modernization initiatives. This long-range strike weapon production contract reflects continued Air Force investment in affordable, manufacturability-focused weapons systems aligned with broader military modernization priorities.
