V2X, Inc. announced that it has been awarded a $19 million indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract by the U.S. Marine Corps to deliver Tempest counter-Unmanned Aerial System (C-UAS) vehicles, expanding access to a highly mobile capability designed to protect maneuver forces against rapidly evolving unmanned threats.
Under the contract, V2X will provide Tempest vehicles along with maintenance support, software management, spares, ancillary components, training, and other associated engineering services. Designed for speed, mobility, and adaptability, Tempest provides maneuver forces with a rapidly deployable solution capable of detecting, tracking, and defeating unmanned aerial threats while maintaining the flexibility to reposition as mission requirements evolve.
“Unmanned aerial systems are fundamentally changing the modern battlefield, creating an urgent need for counter-UAS solutions that are mobile, effective, and ready to operate in demanding environments,”
said Jeremy C. Wensinger, President and Chief Executive Officer of V2X.
“Tempest demonstrates what V2X does exceptionally well: respond to an urgent customer need and rapidly take a capability from concept and integration through fielding and sustainment. By bringing together our engineering, technology integration, logistics, and mission expertise, we can move with speed to deliver mission-ready solutions that directly address emerging threats.”
Tempest was developed by V2X as a highly mobile counter-UAS solution capable of operating alongside maneuver forces in austere and contested environments. Its commercially derived architecture enables rapid deployment, sustainment, and adaptability while providing the mobility required to respond to dynamic threats.
The award further strengthens V2X’s growing counter-UAS portfolio and demonstrates the company’s ability to develop, integrate, field, and sustain solutions in response to evolving operational requirements. V2X combines engineering, technology integration, logistics, training, and mission expertise to accelerate capability from concept to the field.
