Teledyne Flir Unmanned Ground Systems, Inc.

Teledyne Flir Unmanned Ground Systems, Inc., doing business as Endeavor Robotics, manufactures unmanned ground vehicles and robotic systems for the Department of Defense as a large business prime contractor with no set-aside posture, holding a $1.48 billion combined potential-value federal contract portfolio dominated by Army sustainment work through single-award indefinite delivery contracts. The company is a subsidiary of Teledyne Flir Defense, Inc., headquartered in North Billerica, Massachusetts, with performance concentrated at its Chelmsford manufacturing facility.

Endeavor Robotics' capability footprint centers on design, production, and sustainment of robotic platforms and subsystems for military operations. The company manufactures the Man Transportable Robotic System Increment II (MTRS II), Common Robotic System-Heavy (CRS-H), PackBot, Small Unmanned Ground Vehicle (SUGV) 310, and First Look 110 systems, along with component-level hardware including cable assemblies, cable reels, antennas, axles, and mounting plates. Representative prime work spans $61.9 million in MTRS engineering and manufacturing development, low-rate initial production, and full-rate production (Army PEO CSCSS, June 2022); a $68.2 million five-year sustainment IDIQ for MTRS II and CRS-H parts and repairs (Army PEO CSCSS, July 2024); a $13.7 million service technical support delivery order for Enhanced Robotic Payloads engineering and manufacturing development including payload test fixes (Army PEO CSCSS, February 2023); and a $10.3 million delivery order for 81 MTRS robots with basic issue items and stockage lists (Army PEO CSCSS, September 2024). Work also includes Foreign Military Sales sustainment orders—$4.77 million to Sweden (April 2022), $393,377.94 to Nepal (September 2022), and $216,035.71 supporting Ukraine sustainment efforts (September 2024)—along with component procurements under defense supply contracts.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward the Army. The top five customer organizations account for 73 percent of awards by count and 99 percent of combined potential value. Army Acquisition Support Center PEO Combat Support and Combat Service Support dominates with 65 awards valued at $914.4 million combined potential value. Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal follows with 15 awards at $342 million. Navy Naval Sea Systems Command holds 20 awards worth $187.5 million; Navy Expeditionary Combat Command, 18 awards at $1.9 million; and Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime, 22 awards at $46 thousand. The Navy concentration reflects sustainment tasking against the FLIR family of robots and MTRS-platform component support. Army domination across both volume and dollars signals deep embed in the unmanned ground vehicle modernization enterprise.

Endeavor Robotics places work under five named parent vehicles. The largest by count is Indefinite Delivery Contract W56HZV19D0031 (34 task orders, $63 million combined potential value) for FLIR family of robots reset and sustainment. IDC W56HZV17D0063 carries 23 task orders worth $271.8 million for MTRS sustainment. IDC W56HZV20D0017 supports 7 task orders at $66 million for similar sustainment. IDC N0017415D0003 (Naval Sea Systems Command, 10 task orders, $9.7 million) funds Navy MTRS-platform support. IDC W912CH24D0009 (9 task orders, $12.7 million) represents Army chemical and biological defense program work. Two recent single-award IDIQs awarded July 2024 establish the company's forward posture: a $68.2 million five-year MTRS II and CRS-H sustainment vehicle and a $15 million FLIR family of robots sustainment contract, both running through mid-2029. A third legacy vehicle, a $78.6 million System Technical Support and Services IDC for Enhanced Robotic Payloads (May 2022, ultimate completion May 2027), continues to generate cost-plus-fixed-fee orders.

Award trajectory has remained flat to slightly declining—16 awards in 2022, 18 in 2023, 19 in 2024, 15 in 2025, and 4 in the first half of 2026 (a snapshot quarter). Combined obligated dollars across the portfolio total $515 million against $1.48 billion potential value, implying 35 percent execution-to-ceiling ratio typical of sustaining logistics contracts with uneven annual drawdowns. Only two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, carrying combined potential value of $4.2 million, indicating minimal recompete cliff exposure in the near term.

Endeavor Robotics operates almost exclusively as a prime (189 of 191 awards, 99 percent). Two subcontract engagements surface: technical and engineering services support to DCS Corporation under DEVCOM GVSC laboratory support (June 2025 and September 2025), contributing thermal vision dual-sensor vehicle situational awareness capabilities. The subcontract role is negligible relative to the prime footprint.

NAICS concentration aligns with hardware and component manufacturing: Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing dominates with 81 awards, followed by Other Electronic Component Manufacturing (35 awards). Ordering patterns across Defense Logistics Agency, Army Contracting Command Warren, and Army Acquisition Support Center reflect component-level purchase orders alongside large sustainment delivery orders. The company competes full-and-open across its portfolio with no set-aside activity evident in the recent source data.
