Beyond New Horizons, LLC, an Astrion joint venture with Fluor, has won a $3.7 billion contract with the U.S. Air Force.
This is a 12-year Test Operations and Sustainment II contract that supports the Arnold Engineering Development Complex.
“Through this contract, Astrion will establish a new era of aerospace testing for the Air Force characterized by cutting-edge innovation, unparalleled efficiency, and unwavering dedication,” said Astrion CEO Dave Zolet. “We are proud to support the Air Force as it elevates its preparation for the next generation of readiness. We strive to be the difference for our customers delivering results with impact.”
Through Beyond New Horizons, Astrion and Fluor will carry out test operations, technology development, equipment and facility sustainment, and capital improvements to ensure the continuity of the AEDC ground test mission, the company said.
“This win solidifies our position as the partner for progress in mission testing, operations, and engineering,” said Astrion Chief Growth Officer Fog Hahn. “Together with Fluor, we are confident that TOS II opens opportunities for growth and unparalleled innovation to advance ground test and sustainment operations at AEDC and beyond.”
The TOS II contract will support the government’s aerodynamic and propulsion wind tunnels operations, rocket and turbine engine test cells, space environmental chambers, arc heaters, ballistic ranges and other specialized units.
Beyond New Horizons will perform the work at six AEDC operating locations.
This announcement also builds upon Astrion’s recent $910 million contract win to support the Army Test and Evaluation Command.
