MTI Motion LLC

MTI Motion LLC, doing business as MTI Motion, manufactures brushless motors, servo motors, permanent magnet DC motors, and motion control assemblies for defense and federal aviation customers as a prime contractor and subcontractor. The company is a for-profit limited liability corporation and manufacturer of goods based in Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin, with production operations in Kenosha, Wisconsin. MTI Motion competes in full-and-open procurements with no set-aside designations across its recent federal footprint.

MTI Motion's prime capability portfolio centers on direct-drive brushless servo motors, frameless brushless AC motors, smart aileron servos, and motor control assemblies for aviation and naval platforms. Representative prime work includes a $721 thousand firm fixed-price definitive contract awarded February 2026 by the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration (Franchise Acquisition Services) for procurement of Terminal Doppler Weather Radar brushless motors, with completion in November 2026; a $443 thousand purchase order from DOT FAA for various aviation assets in support of the National Airspace System, including frameless brushless AC motors and direct-drive brushless servo motors, awarded May 2024; and a $104 thousand purchase order from Naval Supply Systems Command for motor control products, awarded August 2024. Motor and Generator Manufacturing accounts for eight awards across the recent portfolio, while Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing accounts for five. The top PSC is Motors, Electrical, representing ten awards.

Customer concentration splits between Navy logistics and aviation modernization. The Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration (Franchise Acquisition Services) anchors the potential-value ranking with three awards worth $1.4 million combined; the Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command follows with five awards worth $218 thousand combined; and the Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command (Naval Air Warfare Center) holds two awards worth $162 thousand combined. These three customers account for 70% of recent awards. Activity has grown unevenly — three awards annually in 2022 and 2023, spiking to eight in 2024, then declining to three in 2025 — with one award ($721 thousand) reaching completion inside the next twenty-four months, creating a modest recompete cliff.

MTI Motion subcontracts extensively to major defense primes on aircraft and sensor platforms. Notable subcontract work includes supplying frameless direct-drive brushless alternators to General Atomics Aeronautical Systems for MQ-9 Reaper production and support (multiple sub awards in 2024), providing motors to Northrop Grumman for the E-2D Advanced Hawkeye aircraft (October 2025), delivering brushless directional antenna motors to L3 Technologies (August 2025), and supplying trajectory tracker components and instrumentation range support equipment to BAE Systems Technology Solutions and Services (multiple awards in 2024 and 2025). Hamilton Sundstrand and Honeywell International are also named primes receiving MTI Motion motor and fan assemblies. MTI Motion's sub footprint demonstrates deep integration into defense aircraft propulsion, unmanned aerial vehicle power systems, and naval aviation modernization pipelines, with recent obligated dollars ($2.8 million) exceeding combined potential value ($1.8 million), indicating significant active fulfillment.
