Resonant Sciences LLC

Resonant Sciences LLC, a Beavercreek, Ohio-based for-profit limited liability company, designs and develops advanced radar systems, antenna and radome assemblies, and electromagnetic modeling capabilities for the Department of Defense and NASA as a prime contractor on 63% of recent awards and as a subcontractor to major defense primes on 37% of awards. The vendor competes exclusively in full-and-open categories with no small business set-asides across its prime footprint.

Resonant Sciences' customer concentration sits overwhelmingly with Air Force programs. The top five funding agencies account for 75% of recent awards by count and 98% by combined potential value, led by the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command's Aeronautical Systems Center (17 awards, $102.7 million combined potential value). The two rankings diverge markedly: while the Aeronautical Systems Center dominates both volume and dollars through recurring delivery orders under the classified BIG SAFARI program, the Department of the Air Force proper (7 awards, $13.5 million) and the Space and Missile Systems Center (1 award, $8.8 million) anchor disproportionate dollar value relative to order count. NASA's Glenn Research Center (8 awards, $1.8 million) and the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory (7 awards, $1.7 million) round out active customers but represent marginal dollar concentration. This skew toward Air Force centrality, particularly through BIG SAFARI, creates structural recompete exposure: six awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $30.1 million.

Resonant Sciences holds two primary Basic Ordering Agreements anchoring its prime footprint. The single-award BIG SAFARI Basic Ordering Agreement (FA862023G4035, effective through April 2028) carries seven task orders valued at $32.5 million combined. A second Basic Ordering Agreement (FA862018G4051) supports six task orders valued at $68.8 million combined. Representative prime work includes a $15.25 million firm-fixed-price contract from the Aeronautical Systems Center for the Next Generation Zonal Radar Follow-On program (awarded December 2025), a $9.8 million cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order under BIG SAFARI from the Department of the Air Force (awarded September 2025), a $8.76 million firm-fixed-price delivery order from the Space and Missile Systems Center under BIG SAFARI (awarded September 2024), a $1.57 million definitive contract from the Air Force Research Laboratory for the Passive Infrared Simulation Toolkit (awarded April 2026), and a $6.59 million firm-fixed-price contract from the Nuclear Weapons Center for the Resonant Adaptable Zonal Radar (RAZR) system with four options extending through November 2028 (awarded December 2022).

Activity has grown substantially: four awards in 2022 accelerated to eighteen in 2024, though 2025–2026 show moderation (nine awards in 2025, four to date in 2026). The vendor's combined potential value across all awards totals $136.7 million, with $90.7 million obligated (66% of ceiling). Category concentration reflects the core capability: 23 awards are categorized under Engineering Services (NAICS 541330 and 541512), 15 under Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences, and 6 under Aircraft Manufacturing. PSC coding mirrors this profile, with Support – Professional: Engineering/Technical (9 awards), Aircraft Fixed Wing (5 awards), and Space R&D Services (5 awards) leading.

In its subcontractor role, Resonant Sciences delivers radar system design, antenna and radome development, and electromagnetic modeling support to L3Harris Technologies Integrated Systems (multiple BIG SAFARI aircraft manufacturing task orders awarded December 2024), Lockheed Martin Corporation (MC-130J terrain-following/terrain-avoidance radome assembly and components support since 2023), Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation (incremental funding and research and development services awarded August 2024), Viasat Inc. (Resilient AESA for Multi-Band Multi-Orbit SATCOM design and development, awarded December 2024), KBR Wyle Services (SABER software development support and C4ISR capability delivery, awarded January and December 2025), Smartronix LLC (C5ISR capabilities for U.S. Special Operations Command Pacific missions, awarded January 2025), University of Dayton (COASTER composites and specialty technologies engineering supplies), and Insitu Inc. (incremental funding for investigative projects, awarded February 2024). The subcontract pattern reflects Resonant Sciences' role as a specialized electromagnetic and radar-systems subcontractor embedded in large primes' classified and advanced-systems development pipelines.

Recent awards from NASA Glenn Research Center — a $208,896 in-house research support purchase order (October 2024) and a $192,000 definitive contract for in-house research support (September 2022) — signal early-stage customer diversification beyond Air Force dominance, though Air Force engagement remains structurally dominant.
