About the company
Chaos 1, Inc., a small-business manufacturer and research organization based in Hawthorne, California, operates as a prime contractor in defense advanced sensors and radar systems, holding a seat on the Missile Defense Agency's $151 billion SHIELD Indefinite Delivery Contract awarded in January 2026. Chaos 1 is a subsidiary of Chaos Industries, Inc., and competes predominantly in full-and-open federal procurements without SBA set-aside designations, though recent Air Force Research Laboratory work carries Total Small Business set-aside treatment.
Chaos 1's capability portfolio centers on passive expeditionary air defense radar, advanced multi-static radar systems, and next-generation national security sensor network architecture — capabilities developed and validated through the Air Force Research Laboratory's Small Business Innovation Research program. The company has secured three SBIR contracts with AFRL totaling approximately $2.52 million across Phase I and Phase II efforts: a $74,343 SBIR Phase I award in May 2024 for COSENSE (Next Generation National Security Sensor Network Architecture), a $1.23 million SBIR Phase II award in April 2024 for Advanced Multi-Static Radar Capability with an ultimate completion date of March 18, 2026, and a $1.22 million firm-fixed-price purchase order awarded in July 2025 for GRIFFIN (Passive, Expeditionary Air Defense Radar) with completion in January 2027. Performance occurs at the contractor's facilities in Hawthorne and Hermosa Beach, California. Beyond AFRL, Chaos 1 holds a delivery-order position on the Missile Defense Agency's SHIELD contract (a $500 SHIELD Initial Order issued January 21, 2026) and participates in an Army European Command Other Transaction IDV for the G-TEAD Marketplace following the XTechCounterStrike Prize Challenge (material-transfer order, November 2025).
Customer concentration is heavily weighted to the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory, which accounts for all three SBIR awards and 100% of the combined potential value from AFRL activity ($2.5 million across three awards). The Missile Defense Agency and Army European Command round out the active set with two and one awards respectively. Total recent awards span six prime contracts and IDV positions across three federal customers, with combined obligated value of $2.5 million. Two awards (combined potential value $1.2 million) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore enter the recompete window. Chaos 1 operates as a pure prime footprint — no subcontract work appears in recent source data. All work falls under national defense R&D services and applied research or experimental development PSC categories, with the top NAICS code 541712 (Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences, except Nanotechnology and Biotechnology) covering five of six awards.
