HUNTSVILLE – What goes up, must come down.
And when enemy missiles go up, Teledyne Brown Engineering is working to make sure they come down – without hitting their intended targets.
The Huntsville-based company, a subsidiary of Teledyne Technologies, was awarded a $114 million contract by the Army Space and Missile Defense Command.
Under this contract, Teledyne Brown Engineering will spearhead the design, build, and launch of realistic-threat ballistic target missiles, crucial for use in testing advanced missile defense systems. The Tactical Range Air Defense Missile (TACRAM) 2, a follow-on contract, will extend through March 2028, continuing the company’s work under previous contract, providing target missiles since 2014.
“These target missiles are vital to ensuring the effectiveness of our defense systems in an increasingly perilous world,” said Scott Hall, president of Teledyne Brown Engineering. “Amidst current and emerging global security threats, we are honored to support our nation and its allies.”
Teledyne Brown Engineering has expanded its portfolio of cost-effective test and evaluation target solutions, offering multiple variants to meet diverse demands.
The TACRAM 2 contract will introduce innovative designs and enhanced capabilities, replicating the rapidly evolving threats faced by our warfighters, the company said.
