HUNTSVILLE – Newly launched Astrion didn’t waste any time getting into orbit of Army contracts.

The company was awarded a five-year, $910 million Redstone Test and Engineering Services contract by the United States Army Contracting Command. The contract is in support of the Army Test and Evaluation Command through a Joint Venture, Joint Technical Solutions, with AI Signal Research Inc.

According to a news release, through JTS, Astrion and ASRI will continue to provide comprehensive support across missile, aviation, and associated technologies to ensure the delivery of combat weapon system capabilities to the Army. JTS is a joint venture through a Small Business Administration-approved Mentor Protégé Agreement.

“Leveraging our over 30-year legacy of assisting the U.S. Army, we provide our customers with guidance on new defense and technology issues to get ready for what’s ahead,” said Astrion CEO Dave Zolet. “This partnership underscores Astrion’s dedication to ensuring mission continuity and maintaining operational stability. We take pride in our ongoing service to the customer, embodying our commitment to future innovation and excellence.”

This announcement follows the December launch of Astrion, which brought together two flagship government services firms, Oasis Systems and ERC (Engineering Research and Consulting). The new company provides cybersecurity, digital solutions, mission support, and systems engineering solutions to support the Air Force, Army, Navy, agencies, and space.

Astrion unites more than 2,800 employees serving customers across the U.S. with Centers of Excellence in Huntsville; Washington, D.C.; and Massachusetts.

“Our joint efforts are crucial to supporting the U.S. Army’s mission readiness through the Redstone Test Center,” said Matt Matoushek, executive vice president and general manager of Army at Astrion and lead of the company’s Huntsville Center of Excellence. “We are proud to deliver cutting-edge test and evaluation solutions that empower and protect the U.S. warfighter.”
