U.S. SPECIAL OPERATIONS COMMAND
Leidos Inc., Reston, Virginia, is being awarded a $27.2 million incentive contract modification for the procurement of All Up Rounds for the AGM-190A Small Cruise Missile program, in support of U.S. Special Operations Command.
Air Force Special Operations Command in March officially unveiled the name of the cruise missile as “Havoc Spear.” It is described as a low-cost, mission adaptable, modular-design cruise missile that can be rapidly produced.
“The primary value of this system is its modularity which provides expanded standoff options for commanders to neutralize a range of threats,” said Lt. Gen. Mike Conley, commander of AFSOC.
All Up Rounds, or AURs, are fully assembled missiles.
The Leidos work will be performed in Huntsville and is expected to be completed by Feb. 26, 2029.
Leidos maintains an Alabama workforce of more than 300 and is expanding its operations in Huntsville.
USSOCOM, MacDill Air Force Base, Florida, is the contracting agency.
