About the company
Alliant Techsystems Operations LLC Defense Electronic Systems Division, a Northrop Grumman subsidiary based in Northridge, California, designs, develops, manufactures, and provides technical support for advanced defense electronics systems—primarily anti-radiation guided missiles (AARGM and AARGM-ER platforms), missile guidance components, electro-optic sensors, and related weapon-system integration and test support—to the Department of Defense as a full-and-open prime contractor with no set-aside designation across its federal footprint.
The division operates entirely as a prime contractor (100% of 247 awards in the source data), competing for full-and-open solicitations without SBA set-aside or small-business reserve. Its customer base is heavily concentrated within the Department of Navy, which accounts for 96% of recent awards. Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) dominates both volume and dollars, with 88 awards carrying a combined potential value of $3.15 billion, followed by Naval Supply Systems Command with 76 awards worth $24.4 million and Naval Air Warfare Center with 59 awards worth $319 million. The remaining 4% of awards split among the Air Force Materiel Command and Defense Logistics Agency Aviation. Recent concrete work includes a $237.9 million Firm Fixed Price definitive contract from NAVAIR awarded November 2023 for AGM-88G AARGM-ER Low Rate Initial Production Lot 3 (ultimate completion February 2028), a $33.3 million definitive contract from Naval Air Systems Command for FY25 Long Range Initial Production of AARGM and Common Automatic Tracking Module long-lead materials (September 2024), and a $13.4 million cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order from Naval Air Warfare Center for Kestrel solid fuel ramjet testing (January 2025, ultimate completion August 2026).
The division's activity trajectory shows decline: 15 awards in 2022, 10 in 2023, 7 in 2024, 5 in 2025, and 2 in 2026. Six awards with combined potential value of $937.1 million face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and represent direct recompete exposure. The division places task orders under five primary parent vehicles, led by Basic Ordering Agreement N0001917G0011 (28 task orders, $192.8 million combined potential value) and Basic Ordering Agreement N0038319GBW01 (24 task orders, $1.3 million). These vehicles funnel work through Navy contracting offices at NAVAIR and Naval Air Warfare Center.
Service Contract Inventory reporting reveals SCI-reportable invoicing of $224.9 million across four prime records spanning FY2022 through FY2025—$104.1 million in FY2022 (1,522 FTEs reported at contract level), $85 million in FY2023 (135 FTEs), zero activity in FY2024, and $35.8 million in FY2025 (84.4 FTEs). The gap in FY2024 reflects a shift toward goods and production contracts outside the SCI reporting threshold rather than service-contract activity. On federal services contracts captured in SCI, government-paid hourly rates ran from around $67/hr at the 10th percentile, with a median of $204/hr and senior labor pricing through $283/hr at the 90th percentile. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors perform approximately 32% of total contractor hours; the division names six subcontractors across its SCI records, including Sparc Research LLC (advanced propulsion design and R&D), Gohypersonic Incorporated (hypersonic technology engineering), and Mono Engineering Corp. (small disadvantaged business providing machine shop and guided missile component manufacturing). The broader delivery footprint spans a multi-vendor supply base including BAE Systems Information & Electronic Systems Integration, Honeywell International, Midcon Cables Co. (small business), Quinstar Technology (minority-owned small business), Synovix Inc. (SDVOSB), and specialized component suppliers such as Moog Inc., Benchmark Electronics, and Mercury Systems.
Alliant Techsystems Operations LLC Defense Electronic Systems Division competes in engineering services (95 awards across source data), radio and television broadcasting and wireless communications equipment manufacturing (60 awards), and guided missile and space vehicle manufacturing (32 awards), with core NAICS framing in engineering services and missile manufacturing. Primary PSC codes center on Electronic Countermeasures and Counter-Countermeasures Equipment (78 awards), Guided Missiles (57 awards), National Defense R&D Services (27 awards), and Guided Missile Components (26 awards). The division's role as a Northrop Grumman subsidiary anchors it to Navy weapon-system sustainment and development work on the AARGM platform family, with secondary exposure to Air Force munitions integration and test support.
