Raven Defense Corporation

Raven Defense Corporation, a for-profit defense manufacturer based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, delivers test and evaluation technologies, telemetry systems, and advanced defense-system development capabilities to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor under full-and-open competitive procurement with no set-aside designations. The company operates exclusively as a prime on a portfolio of seven federal awards carrying $1.07 billion in combined potential value, with $19.9 million obligated to date. Raven competes in NAICS 336419 (Other Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) and related R&D categories, positioned to support both classified and unclassified defense programs across multiple technical domains.

Raven's recent award footprint concentrates with two major vehicle platforms. The company holds a seat on the Test and Evaluation Technologies for Ranges, Armaments, and Spectrum II (TETRAS II) multiple-award contract vehicle administered by the Air Force Materiel Command, where it has placed two task orders valued at $73.5 million combined — notably a $73.5 million cost-plus-no-fee delivery order awarded September 4, 2024, for telemetry and terminal data area collection support at Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division, extending through September 30, 2026, plus a $1,000 firm fixed price delivery order from July 2023 for test and evaluation technologies at Eglin Air Force Base. Raven was also selected as an awardee on the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) multiple-award indefinite delivery contract awarded by the Missile Defense Agency on December 29, 2025, a multi-domain homeland defense program valued at a multi-billion-dollar ceiling and running through December 28, 2035, with Raven receiving an initial $500 delivery order concurrently with the master-contract award. The Navy's Naval Sea Systems Command contributed two purchase orders (December 2023 and August 2024) totaling $543 thousand for physical properties testing and inspection services and voice communication equipment at Dahlgren, Virginia.

Customer concentration aligns tightly: the Air Force Materiel Command accounts for 100% of Raven's potential value across all awards, with the Navy and Missile Defense Agency representing secondary activity. Activity has remained modest — three awards in 2023, two in 2024, two in 2025 — but the recent SHIELD vehicle seat and the multi-billion-dollar ceiling on that platform position Raven for significant task-order volume if the Missile Defense Agency exercises competitive ordering. The $73.5 million TETRAS II delivery order represents the company's largest executed commitment and extends into 2026, creating visibility into near-term utilization. Work is performed at multiple locations including Huntsville, Alabama; Eglin Air Force Base, Florida; and Dahlgren, Virginia, supporting military test, evaluation, and weapons-system development.
