Hyperion Technology Group Inc.

Hyperion Technology Group Inc., a for-profit manufacturer and technology services company headquartered in Tupelo, Mississippi, designs and produces advanced acoustic sensor systems, infrasound detection equipment, and defense software applications for federal defense and civilian agencies, operating as a prime contractor on 66 awards (80% of recent activity) and as a subcontractor on specialized R&D platforms.

Hyperion competes predominantly in full-and-open procurements across defense agencies without reliance on set-aside categories, though it qualifies for Small Business status and has won multiple Small Business Innovation Research Phase I and Phase III contracts. The company's core capability portfolio centers on passive acoustic sensing and targeting systems — most notably the Scalable Passive Acoustic Reporting and Targeting Node (SPARTN), a production-stage acoustic surveillance platform — complemented by infrasound sensors, AI/ML-enabled signal processing, force protection and anti-terrorism software applications, and geospatial data integration. Representative prime work includes a $7.67 million SBIR Phase III delivery order from the Marine Corps for SPARTN production and training (July 2023), a $1.5 million firm fixed-price delivery order from the Army Corps of Engineers for anti-terrorism/force protection web application development (June 2023), and an $8.4 million Other Transaction IDV from the Army Corps of Engineers for Denied Area Monitoring and Exploitation (DAMES) V2.0 development (May 2024). Recent work also includes a $199,999.25 Air Force Research Laboratory purchase order for small unmanned aircraft systems detection in cluttered environments (March 2026, completion September 2026).

Hyperion holds two marquee vehicle positions that anchor most of its potential value. The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC/XA) issued a $900 million multiple-award IDIQ in December 2022 to support multi-domain systems innovation, rapid prototyping, and capability demonstration across five-year base and five-year option terms through November 2027; Hyperion holds a seat and issued a single $1,000 delivery order for a capability report in late 2022. GSA's Federal Acquisition Service awarded a $40.5 million Federal Supply Schedule contract in March 2022 (base plus four options through March 2027) spanning 39 labor categories with hourly rates from $43.72 to $286.08, covering junior machinists and technicians through subject matter experts in AI/ML, electrical engineering, and program analysis; no security-cleared positions are offered. Hyperion also maintains a $16.39 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Vehicle with the Marine Corps for SPARTN systems production, sustainment, and life-cycle support (awarded July 2023, completion July 2028), against which five delivery orders totaling approximately $10.95 million have been issued through August 2025. A $7.49 million single-award Army Corps of Engineers IDV for anti-terrorism/force protection application development and training runs through June 2028; one $1.5 million task order has been issued. Hyperion also holds Other Transaction IDVs with the Army Corps of Engineers Engineer Research and Development Center for acoustic surveillance network development ($6.4 million, awarded March 2023, expired September 2024) and for integrated infrasound sensor calibration systems ($1.6 million, awarded September 2021), plus a single-award BPA with ERDC for Hyperion equipment procurement ($748,556, through November 2027).

Customer concentration is fragmented across 22 agencies but skews heavily to defense R&D and specialized sensor procurement. The top five funding entities account for 69% of award count: the Army Corps of Engineers Engineer Research and Development Center leads with 22 awards valued at $33.3 million combined potential value, the Marine Corps follows with 12 awards at $32.6 million, the Air Force (including Air Combat Command and Air Materiel Command Research Laboratory) holds 18 awards across entities, the Defense Threat Reduction Agency holds 5 awards at $2.3 million, and the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center represents the potential-value outlier at $900 million on a single vehicle (2 awards). GSA's Federal Acquisition Service anchors $40.5 million in civilian agency access. The concentration divergence is striking: the Air Force dominates dollar value (99% share driven by the AFLCMC/XA IDIQ) while the Army Corps of Engineers dominates award count, signaling that Hyperion's bread-and-butter work is ERDC-led sensor development and sustainment rather than rapid Air Force prototyping.

Award trajectory shows recent acceleration and near-term recompete exposure. Activity rose from 5 awards in 2022 to 7 in 2023 to 23 in 2024, then dropped to 5 in 2025 and 1 in 2026 (most recent award March 2026). Only 2 awards (combined potential value $880,000) face ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, reducing near-term recompete pressure; however, the Marine Corps SPARTN IDV ($16.39 million) and Army Corps anti-terrorism application IDV ($7.49 million) extend through 2028 and represent significant renewal opportunities. Combined potential value across all 83 awards reaches $1.02 billion, though only $61.9 million (6%) has been obligated to date, reflecting the front-loaded ceiling values of the two mega-vehicles.

Hyperion operates as a subcontractor in three distinct streams. It supplies software analysis, design, development, and testing for expedited ordnance disposal and autonomous unmanned systems research and development under Torch Technologies Inc. as prime (AIRBASE Technologies IV effort, Rapid Airfield Damage Repair thrust area), with monthly sub-awards from January 2024 through December 2024 indicating recurring monthly delivery. Hyperion also provides hardware for modeling and simulation systems engineering services under Science Applications International Corporation as prime (February 2024 sub-award). A sub-recipient position with the University of Southern Mississippi on an October 2025 federal grant award involves development and implementation of a data aggregation hub for uncrewed systems in support of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Blue Economy and cloud modernization objectives.

The vendor's work falls primarily within R&D and advanced manufacturing NAICS codes — Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (30 awards), Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing (10 awards), and Instruments and Related Products Manufacturing for Measuring, Displaying, and Controlling Industrial Process Variables (6 awards) — reflecting its identity as a defense sensor and software innovator rather than a services integrator or labor-augmentation contractor.
