About the company
Aerovironment, Inc. is a for-profit manufacturer of unmanned aerial systems, loitering munitions, and unmanned ground vehicles operating as a prime contractor (87% of recent awards) across the Department of Defense and federal civilian agencies with no socioeconomic set-aside designations. Headquartered in Simi Valley, California, with a subsidiary portfolio including Bluehalo LLC and Empirical Systems Aerospace Inc., Aerovironment competes in full-and-open competitive categories spanning aircraft manufacturing (NAICS 336411), systems integration and R&D services, and guided missile systems procurement.
Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward Army programs and loitering munitions. The Army's Program Executive Office Soldier and Program Executive Office Aviation dominate the footprint, accounting for 59 awards worth $2.95 billion in combined potential value—roughly 57% of all dollars. PEO Soldier alone anchors $1.79 billion across 16 awards, primarily driven by the Low Altitude Stalking and Strike Ordnance (LASSO) Indefinite Delivery Contract (W91CRB24D0011) valued at $990 million through August 30, 2029. PEO Aviation supplies $1.16 billion across 43 awards, including Foreign Military Sales orders and the $874 million FMS-operations IDIQ (W58RGZ26D0001). The Office of Naval Research contributes $143 million across 20 awards, anchored by multiple Small Business Innovation Research Phase III delivery orders for unmanned systems R&D. Within the next twenty-four months, 28 awards worth $799.6 million face completion and recompete.
Vehicle footprint spans production, prototype development, and Foreign Military Sales. Aerovironment holds the $990 million LASSO IDC under PEO Soldier for Switchblade 300 and 600 loitering munitions, fire control systems, and field services representatives support, with ten delivery orders issued totaling $738.6 million. The PEO Aviation FMS IDIQ ($874.3 million) supports Puma and Raven platforms plus logistics to allied nations including Tunisia, Estonia, Colombia, Egypt, Macedonia, Iraq, Kazakhstan, and others. A $480 million Air Force IDIQ for Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems Hurricane Drones (awarded October 2025) reflects recent growth. Aerovironment also holds a $500 million Department of Defense single-award IDIQ (awarded July 2026) for operational utility of unmanned systems supporting force protection, base defense, and counter-UAS operations. A $249 million Marine Corps IDIQ procures Organic Precision Fires-Light loitering munitions and precision strike platforms. Other Transaction Agreements include a $97 million RDEC OTA for SOAR and DINGO prototype baseline work, a $39 million Army OTA for Human-Machine Integrated Formations robotic software prototypes, and a $9.5 million DARPA OTA for infrastructure-less launch and recovery concepts. Recent awards include a $89.8 million DoD delivery order (July 2026) for operational utility of unmanned systems; a $256.8 million PEO Soldier delivery order (January 2026) for Switchblade loitering munitions and fire control systems; a $220.7 million PEO Soldier delivery order (January 2025) for Switchblade all-up rounds; and a $117.3 million PEO Aviation delivery order (June 2026) for P550 Long Range Reconnaissance systems and UAS marketplace procurement.
Activity accelerated from 2022 onward. Awards per year grew from 19 in 2022 to 36 in 2024 and 32 in 2025, with 31 awards in 2026 year-to-date, driven by loitering munitions procurement and UAS operational requirements tied to Executive Order 14307 on unleashing military drone dominance. Total combined potential value across the 153 awards in the source reaches $5.22 billion, with $2.05 billion (39%) obligated to date.
In its subcontractor footprint, Aerovironment delivers uncrewed aircraft, training, and autonomous vehicle components to Booz Allen Hamilton (EMAPS 2 and EDITS programs for uncrewed systems and high-altitude pseudo-satellite integration), HII Mission Technologies (advanced surveillance and force protection systems, VOX systems, SOAR air vehicle development), Science Applications International Corporation (NIWC Atlantic drone training), ManTech TSG-2 Joint Venture (Marine Corps Force Design 2030 Switchblade demonstrations), and Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (manned-unmanned systems for irregular warfare). Aerovironment also subcontracts under primes including Seacorp (SBIR Phase III human-machine interface development), Amentum Services (PMA-263 logistics and sustainment), and others in specialized research and prototype development roles.
The source describes Aerovironment as a global leader in intelligent robotic systems specializing in design, development, and production of advanced unmanned technologies for defense and government markets. The company manufactures the Puma (small tactical UAS platform with AE and LE variants), Raven (compact reconnaissance UAV), and Switchblade family (loitering munition platforms including 300, 600, and emerging 400 variants). Recent contractual scope spans loitering munition procurement and production, tactical UAS supply to allied nations, fire control system integration, field services representatives support, autonomous software prototyping, and R&D in human-machine teaming and infrastructure-independent launch-recovery concepts. All recent prime awards carry firm fixed price or cost-plus-fixed-fee terms with no set-asides and are performed predominantly at Simi Valley with secondary sites including Arlington, Virginia; Huntsville, Alabama; Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania; and Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio.
