About this award
Invariant Corporation, a Huntsville, Alabama-based defense technology firm, was awarded a $2.26M firm fixed-price delivery order by the U.S. Marine Corps on November 26, 2024, for First Article Testing (FAT) units of the Counter-Unmanned Aircraft System (C-UAS) Engagement System. The contract, which carries no small business set-aside designation, is scheduled for completion by September 30, 2027, with performance taking place in Hanahan, South Carolina. This delivery order is issued under Invariant's larger $308.9M single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Marine Corps for full-rate production units of the C-UAS Engagement System, under which three delivery orders totaling approximately $9.6M have been issued since October 2024. The award reflects the Marine Corps' investment in advanced counter-unmanned aircraft capabilities as part of its broader air defense modernization efforts.
Invariant is executing the FAT contract with support from two major subcontractors: Torch Technologies Inc., an employee-owned small business based in Huntsville, Alabama, which was subcontracted on August 21, 2025, to provide metal fabrication parts and assemblies for MADIS FAT and related components; and Afterburner Wind Tunnel Services LLC, a Women-Owned Small Business, which was subcontracted on April 8, 2025, to provide systems, weapons, and software safety analyses, documentation, and presentations for the program. Invariant's selection reflects its extensive portfolio of counter-UAS technologies, sensor systems integration, and systems engineering capabilities across multiple defense domains, positioning it as a qualified provider for the Marine Corps' advanced air defense requirements.
