Dynetics, Inc.

Dynetics, Inc., a Leidos Holdings subsidiary headquartered in Huntsville, Alabama, is a mid-tier defense and aerospace prime contractor delivering precision guided munitions, missile defense systems, test and evaluation infrastructure, modeling and simulation platforms, and advanced engineering services to the Department of Defense, Army, Air Force, NASA, and related federal agencies. Dynetics competes predominantly as a full-and-open prime contractor, holding no SBA set-aside designations; the vendor operates across the federal contract landscape as a major prime and occasional subcontractor to Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, and other Tier-1 defense primes.

Dynetics' federal award portfolio spans 2,825 recent awards across 68 customer agencies with combined potential value of $110.9 billion and $5.81 billion obligated to date. The top-five funding agencies by award count—Department of the Army (894 awards, $1.5 billion), Defense Intelligence Agency (481 awards), Army Aviation and Missile Life Cycle Management Command (208 awards, $76.7 million), Department of Defense (131 awards), and Department of the Air Force (123 awards, $2.76 billion)—account for 65% of recent awards. By potential-value ranking, the Army's Program Executive Office for Missiles and Space dominates with 56 awards valued at $6.19 billion, followed by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center (35 awards, $5.52 billion), the Air Force (123 awards, $2.76 billion), the Air Force Materiel Command (63 awards, $2.14 billion), and the broader Army organization (894 awards, $1.5 billion). This concentration reflects Dynetics' core focus on missile systems, air defense, launch vehicles, and test infrastructure.

Dynetics' capability footprint centers on concrete defense and aerospace engineering: production and sustainment of the Indirect Fire Protection Capability Increment 2 (IFPC Inc 2) system, a $4.094 billion Army single-award IDIQ through April 2029 with three delivery orders totaling $913.7 million as of July 2025; small glide munitions design, development, and production under multiple Air Force vehicles including the Eglin Wide Agile Acquisition Contract (EWAAC), a $46 billion multiple-award GWAC where Dynetics holds significant task order volume; production and sustainment of the Laboratory Intelligence Validated Emulator (LIVE) Virtual Constructive (LVC) system and related rapid threat deployment models for the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center at Robins AFB across numerous delivery orders in the $1–5 million range; Combat Refueling and Operations Networked Universal Systems (CRONUS) automated air-to-air refueling boom automation ($5.996 million definitive contract through November 2027); and Space Launch System (SLS) Universal Stage Adapter work for NASA Glenn Research Center. Recent prime awards include a $617.2 million PEO Missiles and Space delivery order for FY26 production through November 2029, a $2.248 billion Air Force Other Transaction Agreement for air base air defense and missile defense organic sensor capability through December 2030, and a $151 billion Missile Defense Agency multiple-award IDIQ for the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) initiative (awarded December 29, 2025, performance through December 28, 2035). Dynetics also holds a $999.95 million Air Force TETRAS II (Test & Evaluation Technologies for Ranges, Armaments & Spectrum) IDIQ and a $75 million Naval Sea Systems Command high-energy laser rapid prototyping IDIQ.

Dynetics operates as a prime contractor on 92% of its recent awards and as a subcontractor on 8%. The vendor's teaming pattern reflects its mid-tier posture: Dynetics regularly primes large development and production contracts and subcontracts specialized components and services to equipment manufacturers (DMG Mori Usa for CNC machinery, Novatel for precision navigation, Raytheon and Insight Global for systems integration and staffing, JMK Inc. for electronic components) and engineering specialists (Applied Systems Engineering, Wind River Systems, Glenair for electrical interconnects, Spectra Technologies for explosives and pyrotechnics, BAE Systems, Honeywell, Moog, Action Manufacturing). Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors account for a 3% share of total contractor hours, with four named sub vendors reported in SCI data through FY2024; this suggests Dynetics delivers the majority of its own engineering labor while leveraging specialized suppliers for manufacturing and component integration.

As a subcontractor, Dynetics furnishes engineering services, hardware development, fabrication, test support, and systems analysis to Boeing on Minuteman III guidance system sustainment and Ares I upper stage manufacturing; to Lockheed Martin on software development, telemetry systems, advanced radar threat systems, and remote operator control; to Torch Technologies on Army Aviation and Missile Center technical support; to Northrop Grumman on Intelligence Systems Infrastructure, Tools, and Enhancements (INSITE) engineering; to Raytheon on missile and aircraft component supply; and to other primes including SRC Inc., Peraton Inc., Science Applications International Corporation, KBR Wyle Services, and Radiance Technologies on sensor development and modeling-and-simulation research.

Activity has accelerated significantly in recent years. Dynetics recorded 17 awards in 2022, 46 in 2023, 142 in 2024, 81 in 2025, and 11 in the first five months of 2026. This growth trajectory reflects both increased production orders for IFPC Inc 2, small glide munitions, and LIVE/LVC sustainment, and the FY2025 award of the $151 billion SHIELD IDIQ. Within the next twenty-four months, 25 awards with combined potential value of $1.15 billion reach ultimate completion and face recompete, including multiple Army ALPS sustainment orders, Air Force LVC production and test support contracts, and NASA SLS work.

On federal service contracts captured in the Service Contract Inventory above the $150,000 threshold, Dynetics reported $31.1 million invoiced across FY2022–FY2024 (prime records): $28.8 million in FY2022 across 150 FTEs, $2.3 million in FY2023 across 7 FTEs, and $0 recorded in FY2024 across 20.1 FTEs. This three-year span reflects a sharp decline in SCI-reportable service contract activity, likely due to a shift toward production and delivery orders outside SCI's reporting scope and classified work. On government-paid hourly rates across SCI-reportable prime labor, the median ran around $118.73 per hour, with the 10th percentile at $64.08 per hour and the 90th percentile at $146.48 per hour, consistent with mid-tier engineering staffing on development and sustainment contracts. The vendor's GSA Schedule portfolio carries 100 active labor categories ranging from $46.21 per hour (Scientist Trainee, entry-level) to $279.64 per hour (Senior Principal Program Manager, 25 years experience), with no security-cleared roles offered on the schedule; this breadth supports rapid staffing across civilian and defense acquisition projects.

Dynetics' vehicle footprint anchors to large DoD and Missile Defense Agency IDIQs: the MDA90899D0001 IDIQ (256 task orders), DAAH0189D0069 (171 task orders), DAAH0193DR001 (155 task orders), EWAAC (multiple task orders), TETRAS II (multiple task orders), and single-award IDIQs for the Army's ALPS program and IFPC Inc 2 production. The vendor also holds a GSA Multiple Award Schedule with 147 task orders valued at $50.5 million. This vehicle concentration demonstrates Dynetics' established access to rapid-acquisition mechanisms across the DoD enterprise and its ability to execute both small engineering task orders and billion-dollar production commitments under the same contracting frameworks.

Corporate structure reflects Leidos ownership: Dynetics, Inc. serves as the primary operating entity, with subsidiary Dynetics Technical Solutions Inc. and Spire Manufacturing Solutions LLC listed among 11 named subsidiaries. The manufacturing designation on several Dynetics subsidiaries signals in-house production capability for precision components, assembled systems, and test articles—differentiating the company from pure-services competitors and supporting its end-to-end role on production contracts like IFPC Inc 2 and small glide munitions.
