AeroVironment Wins $80.5M Air Force Contract for Titan MS System

AeroVironment secured an $80.5 million contract with the Air Force for its Titan MS system. The contract is for the support of JIATF-401's Domestic Shield Program.

AeroVironment's AVAV Titan counter-drone system has been selected by Joint Interagency Task Force 401 for an $80.5 million task order supporting the Domestic Shield program, which aims to defend Air Force installations against small unmanned aircraft. The award is the first task order issued against a $500 million indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract that JIATF-401 awarded AeroVironment on July 1.

Domestic Shield is a Department of War initiative to build a more proactive, scalable counter-UAS posture for domestic installations, expanding defensive perimeters, speeding threat identification, and giving base commanders more authority to protect high-risk assets. AeroVironment's Titan line, comprising Titan3, Titan4, and Titan-SV, is a modular system built to detect, identify, track, and mitigate hostile drones across varied environments.

The task order builds on AeroVironment's position as a leading counter-UAS supplier to the US military, a category that has grown in priority as drone threats to domestic installations have become more frequent. The $500 million IDIQ ceiling suggests this initial $80.5 million award could be the first of several task orders as the Domestic Shield program scales.
