$13.8 million SOCOM Zeus missile LRIP and delivery contract

U.S. Special Operations Command awarded Aeon Industrial a $13.8 million, one-year contract covering enhancement, testing, certification-path milestones, low-rate initial production, and deliveries of the shoulder-fired Zeus missile system.

Aeon says the award moves Zeus into production and delivery after two years of internal development. The Austin company manufactures key subsystems in-house, including propulsion and fuzing, and is developing a 140,000-square-foot manufacturing facility near Austin to support higher production rates. The facility is not represented here as complete or operational.
