  • The contract covers lifecycle services from engineering and prototyping to modernization and global logistics for key precision munitions like HELLFIRE, JAGM, Javelin, and TOW missiles.

HOUSTON, Aug. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- KBR (NYSE: KBR) announced today Trinzic, the planned spin-off of its Mission Technology Solutions business, has secured an estimated $208 million cost-plus-fixed-fee task order to continue supporting the U.S. Army’s Tactical Aviation and Ground Munitions (TAGM) portfolio, a centerpiece of the Army’s precision strike and aviation modernization efforts. The five-year recompete extends KBR’s role as a prime contractor on one of the Army’s highest lethality priorities, and it reinforces the company’s long-standing leadership in defense technology modernization for the U.S. and its allies.

The task order was awarded under the One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services Plus (OASIS+) government-wide contract vehicle. KBR will provide end-to-end support across the full lifecycle, from advanced engineering and rapid prototyping to modernization, foreign military sales and global logistics. This integrated approach accelerates the development, fielding and sustainment of TAGM’s portfolio of combat-proven weapon systems, including HELLFIRE, Joint Air-to-Ground Missile (JAGM), Javelin and Tube-launched, Optically-tracked, Wireless-guided (TOW) missiles, Hydra Rockets and Long-Range Precision Munitions (LRPM) as well as advanced rocket and containerized weapons platforms. These systems remain in high demand across global theaters as threat environments increasingly evolve.

“This award reflects the Army’s trust in KBR to move quickly and handle complexity without losing focus on the mission,” said Jay Lennon, President of Mission Technology Solutions. “For more than 25 years, KBR has helped take the Army’s most important precision weapons from concept to combat readiness, shortening development timelines and accelerating delivery to the field.”

The award directly supports the Army’s top modernization priorities, including multi-domain operations, Army Aviation lethality, and Launched Effects and low-cost, effective Counter-Unmanned Aircraft System (C-UAS) capabilities.

As the Army continues to rely on accelerated acquisition pathways to prototype and field new capabilities faster, KBR’s commitment as a trusted partner ensures delivery at Speed to Mission ImpactSM through deep engineering expertise, advanced digital tools and global execution capability. These strengths position the company as a trusted partner for rapid defense innovation and sustained combat readiness.
