DRS Training & Control Systems, LLC

DRS Training & Control Systems, LLC Range, Control And Unmanned Systems Division, doing business as Leonardo DRS Training & Control Systems, LLC, manufactures and repairs specialized defense electronics, aircraft components, and sensor systems for the Navy, Air Force, and Army as a prime contractor (98% of recent awards) and subordinate supplier. The company is a subsidiary of Leonardo DRS, Inc., a large for-profit defense industrial entity with no small-business designations; it competes predominantly in full-and-open federal procurements without set-asides, reflecting its position as an established large contractor within the Leonardo SPA multinational defense portfolio.

DRS Training & Control Systems delivers concrete capabilities in range control and unmanned systems support, advanced electronic component repair, aircraft systems maintenance, and sensor technologies. Representative work includes a $1.91 million delivery order (awarded September 2025) for AH-64 Digital Captive Boresight Harmonization Kit services under the Army Aviation and Missile Command's Apache Remanufacture program; a $3.81 million definitive contract (August 2025) for Radio Frequency Exciter units from Ogden Air Logistics Complex; a $3.92 million delivery order for UMTE (Unmanned Threat Emitter) transmitters (September 2025); and recurring repair and maintenance task orders for Soviet-era aircraft components, radar modulators, circuit card assemblies, and pressure sensors from Naval Supply Systems Command totaling hundreds of millions in aggregate potential value.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward Air Force and Navy supply chains. The top five customers by potential value account for approximately 79% of combined potential value: Ogden Air Logistics Complex anchors the portfolio at $1.02 billion across 76 awards, followed by Air Force Lifecycle Management Center Hill Air Force Base ($166.9 million, 35 awards), Army Aviation and Missile Life Cycle Management Command ($88.9 million, 43 awards), Army Materiel Command Detroit Arsenal ($60.4 million, 9 awards), and Naval Supply Systems Command ($45 million, 443 awards). By award count, the vendor concentrates across Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (684 awards, $15.5 million combined potential value), DLA Aviation (475 awards, $14.7 million), and NAVSUP (443 awards, $45 million), reflecting a transactional supply-chain model of smaller individual task orders rather than large delivery orders.

The vendor holds multiple named indefinite delivery vehicles anchoring sustained customer relationships. The Basic Ordering Agreement N0010491GA062 carries 49 task orders; Indefinite Delivery Contract F0863582C0061 carries 45 task orders; and IDC N6893698D0140 carries 42 task orders. Recently announced is a massive $151 billion multiple-award IDIQ from the Missile Defense Agency (December 2025) under the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) program, extending through 2035, which encompasses research, development, prototyping, systems engineering, weapon design, production, and test and evaluation across air, missile, space, and cyber defense domains. DRS also maintains a $14.999 million single-award IDIQ with Ogden Air Logistics Complex for Unmanned Threat Emitter program repair services across 48 national stock numbers (September 2025 through September 2030), a $249.9 million Combat Environment Instrumentation Systems II IDIQ with Naval Air Warfare Center supporting testing and evaluation systems, and an $11.3 million single-award IDIQ with Army Aviation and Missile Life Cycle Management for Digital Captive Boresight Harmonization Kit maintenance and overhaul. These vehicles establish flexible procurement mechanisms for recurring repair, sustainment, and modernization work across multiple military branches.

Recent activity shows stability with 66 awards in both 2024 and 2025, though 2026 data is partial (nine awards through March). Twenty-nine awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $15.6 million, representing moderate recompete exposure concentrated in routine component repairs and sustainment task orders rather than large platform contracts.

The subcontractor footprint reveals DRS executes specialized repair and component work for primes managing larger platform programs. Named subs include work under Lockheed Martin for MK-41 Vertical Launching System components and materials support (multiple awards through January 2025), Sikorsky Aircraft on CH-53K helicopter long-lead items and aircraft parts (April 2024 onward), The Boeing Company on F-15 Repair Support Services for Royal Saudi Air Force (recurring awards through October 2025), Cubic Defense Applications on P5 Combat Training System spare parts and contractor logistic support (recurring awards through June 2025), BAE Systems Technology Solutions on Instrumentation Range Support Program and UMTE ThreatBuilder software upgrade support (multiple awards through October 2024), and S&K Federal Services on repair of digital and analog captive boresight harmonization kits for Foreign Military Sales programs. Additional sub relationships with Electric Boat (submarine construction support), Huntington Ingalls (CVN-80 engineering and AFD controller upgrades), DRS Sustainment Systems (Joint Assault Bridge supplies and sensor mounts), and others round out the subcontract portfolio, which spans defense platform sustainment, range instrumentation, and aircraft systems support.

Work is performed primarily at Okaloosa Island, Florida, a location housing Naval Air Warfare Center facilities and positioning the vendor for range control, testing and evaluation, and aircraft maintenance work. The top five NAICS categories—Other Electronic Component Manufacturing (234 awards), Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (177 awards), Other Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance (151 awards), Current-Carrying Wiring Device Manufacturing (142 awards), and Electronic Connector Manufacturing (137 awards)—and the corresponding PSC codes (Miscellaneous Electric Power and Distribution Equipment, Electrical and Electronic Assemblies, Connectors, Hardware, and Aircraft Maintenance and Repair Shop Specialized Equipment) confirm the vendor's narrow focus on specialized components, electronics repair, and aircraft sustainment rather than broader systems integration.
