LEXINGTON PARK, Md. – AVIAN was recently part of a winning team, led by American Technology Solutions International Corp. (ATSI), in support of the Naval Air Systems Command’s Airborne Electronic Attack (AEA) Program Office (PMA-234) under Program Executive Office for Tactical Aircraft, PEO(T).
This is a five-year contract to deliver critical program management, financial management, and analytical support for some of the Navy’s most advanced airborne electronic attack capabilities, including the EA-18G Growler and Next Generation Jammer programs.
For AVIAN, this award represents a meaningful return to a program with deep roots in the company’s history.
“Having previously served as the prime contractor supporting this effort, AVIAN is honored to once again contribute to the mission alongside strong industry partners like ATSI and StraCon, ACT 1 and Colsa,” said George Franz, AVIAN’s Chief Executive Officer. “As a former EA-6B Prowler Naval Flight Officer, I understand the importance of advancing the Navy’s EW capabilities. It’s a critical mission and we are happy to lend talent and experience to the team to see that mission continue to advance,” Franz said.
This award also created opportunities for AVIAN to welcome back former AVIAN teammates while introducing new employees to the program, further strengthening the company’s commitment to supporting naval aviation and the community in Southern Maryland and beyond.
