Huntsville-headquartered Torch Technologies over the past two weeks announced that it has been awarded three separate contracts from the federal government worth a total of $2.887 billion.
In the two days following the $722 million award previously reported by Yellowhammer News last Friday, Torch won two additional contracts.
The first was a $1.065 billion task order by U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM) Aviation and Missile Center (AvMC) Systems Simulation Software and Integration Directorate (S3I) for Hardware in the Loop (HWIL) Systems of Systems Development, Integration and Testing (HWIL SoS). The task order has a seven-year period of performance and will be executed primarily in the Rocket City.
According to a release, the Torch team will provide expertise to develop, enhance, evaluate and maintain the current suite of distributed digital simulation, and system of systems unique development facilities for the DEVCOM AvMC S3I Directorate, HWIL/Virtual Simulators Mission Area.
“Torch has supported the DEVCOM AvMC S3I HWIL customers since the early years of the company’s founding,” explained Torch President and CEO John Watson. “This win enables us to continue that support and to help advance technology in weapon systems for the U.S. Army, Missile Defense Agency, and other agencies.”
Additionally, Torch was awarded a $1.1 billion task order by DEVCOM AvMC S3I for Hardware in the Loop (HWIL) Missile. The task order also has a seven-year period of performance and will be executed primarily in Huntsville.
On this contract, the Torch team will reportedly provide various types of simulation support to S3I customers for development and improvements to their systems to include labs/facilities, missile systems, unmanned platforms and targets, threats, and HWIL/SIL Simulation infrastructure and tools.
“This contract allows Torch and our partners to continue to support the DEVCOM AvMC S3I HWIL customers,” Watson added. “We look forward to advancing and testing the technologies that enable and protect our nation’s warfighters.”
A 100% employee-owned business with more than 900 global employees dedicated to quality technical services, competitive costs and ethical business practices, Torch also has an Alabama presence at Fort Rucker in the Wiregrass. In 2019, Torch’s annual revenues were approximately $513 million.
