About the company
Lighthouse Avionics Inc. Lighthouse Avionics Division, based in Hilliard, Ohio, develops unmanned-aircraft-system airspace-management software, counter-UAS detection and localization systems, and autonomous-drone platforms for defense and civil aviation as a small-business prime contractor. The vendor competes entirely under Total Small Business set-asides across research and development work, with no full-and-open prime awards in the source portfolio.
Lighthouse Avionics is a for-profit manufacturer of goods and technology developer with a narrow but intensely focused customer base. The top two funding agencies account for 100% of recent awards: the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory (10 awards, $3.8 million combined potential value) and the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Southwestern Region (2 awards, $2.1 million combined potential value). The customer concentration is extreme — AFRL dominates the portfolio by award count and dollars, anchoring Lighthouse Avionics' innovation trajectory in counter-UAS and autonomous-flight research.
Lighthouse Avionics' capability portfolio centers on computer-vision-based drone localization, RF-sensing counter-UAS technologies, modular low-altitude airspace management systems, and autonomous drone platforms for CBRNE detection and emergency response. Representative work includes a $1.32 million FAA definitive contract (awarded September 16, 2026, completing September 30, 2027) for non-system-specific UAS integration technology into the National Airspace System, performed in Atlanta; a $1.25 million AFRL Total Small Business purchase order (May 23, 2025, completing August 24, 2026) for adaptation of low-cost, size-weight-and-power beyond-visual-line-of-sight sensing for counter-UAS applications; a $565,000 AFRL firm fixed-price order (August 22, 2025, completing January 16, 2026) for a camera array system monitoring small and large UAS and manned aircraft at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base's SkyVision test site; and a $749,989 AFRL STTR Phase II contract (July 22, 2022, completing October 25, 2023) for a low-cost, sensor-agnostic CBRNE-detection autonomous drone. Earlier research awards include SBIR Phase I and II efforts on drone localization, airspace management, and autonomous flight certification, all completed between 2021 and 2024.
Activity has remained steady at two to three awards annually since 2021, with $5.9 million combined potential value across twelve prime contracts and no subcontractor role. Only one award ($1.3 million) completes within the next twenty-four months, leaving limited recompete exposure in the near term. The vendor's work is concentrated in NAICS 541712 (Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences) and PSC codes for National Defense R&D Services and Transportation R&D Services, reflecting its positioning as a defense and aviation R&D innovator rather than a production or services provider.
