KBR’s Planned Trinzic Unit Wins Estimated $208 Million Task Order for U.S. Army Tactical Aviation and Ground Munitions Support

HOUSTON — KBR announced on August 10 that 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.

The five-year task order was awarded under the federal government’s One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services Plus (OASIS+) contract vehicle. It is a recompete that continues KBR’s role as the prime contractor supporting a range of Army precision-strike and aviation weapons.

Under the task order, KBR will provide support across the full lifecycle of the systems. The work includes advanced engineering, rapid prototyping, modernization, foreign military sales support and global logistics, covering activities from development and fielding through sustainment.

 

Weapons Covered by the Task Order

The TAGM portfolio covered by the work includes the HELLFIRE missile, Joint Air-to-Ground Missile (JAGM), Javelin, Tube-launched Optically-tracked Wireless-guided (TOW) missiles, Hydra rockets and Long-Range Precision Munitions (LRPM).

The portfolio also includes advanced rocket systems and containerized weapons platforms.

The Army's TAGM program supports tactical aviation and ground forces and includes systems at different stages of development, fielding and sustainment. The Army has previously identified Long Range Precision Munitions as part of its efforts to provide longer-range capabilities for future and current aviation platforms.

 

Support for Army Modernization

KBR said the task order supports several Army modernization priorities, including multi-domain operations, increased Army Aviation lethality, Launched Effects and low-cost Counter-Unmanned Aircraft System (C-UAS) capabilities.

The company will use its engineering capabilities, digital tools and global execution resources to support the Army as it uses accelerated acquisition approaches to move new capabilities from prototype development toward fielding.

Jay Lennon, President of Mission Technology Solutions, said the award reflects the Army's trust in KBR and highlighted the company's work supporting Army precision weapons for more than 25 years.

“For more than 25 years, KBR has helped take the Army’s most important precision weapons from concept to combat readiness,” Lennon said.

KBR said the TAGM weapons remain in demand across global theaters as threat environments change, increasing the importance of engineering, modernization and sustainment support for the portfolio.

 

Contract Comes Ahead of Trinzic Spin-Off

The task order comes as KBR prepares to separate its Mission Technology Solutions business into an independent public company called Trinzic.

KBR announced the Trinzic name in July as part of its planned spin-off of the Mission Technology Solutions business. The separation is currently expected to be completed in January 2027, subject to the required conditions and approvals.

KBR previously said the planned spin-off business would enter the market with more than $5 billion in annual revenue and approximately 20,000 employees, with capabilities spanning national security and space, including digital integration, artificial intelligence, mission engineering and rapid prototyping.

KBR's Mission Technology Solutions business has continued to secure U.S. government work as preparations for the separation progress. KBR said in its second-quarter 2026 earnings update that the company remained on track for the planned January 2027 spin-off and was progressing with activities including contract separation, IT systems, procurement and organizational planning.

The new Army task order therefore extends KBR's existing TAGM support while the business prepares to transition into Trinzic as an independent company.
