Firestorm Labs, a drone manufacturing company heavily leveraging 3D printing technology, has been awarded a $100 million, 5-year Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to support key US Air Force priorities. The IDIQ can be leveraged for the development or procurement of 3D printed unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and advancing next-generation autonomy capabilities.
The contract spans five years and enables the Air Force to issue multiple task and delivery orders – providing flexibility to adapt to shifting operational demands. Individual task orders will allow for performance periods of up to 24 months after the final order is placed.
Under this contract, Firestorm Labs is open to orders for work across the United States Government.
“This award reflects the Air Force’s confidence in Firestorm’s ability to deliver modular, cost-effective UAS solutions that redefine the boundaries of innovation,” said Dan Magy, Co-founder and CEO of Firestorm Labs. “We are excited to contribute to the modernization of warfighter capabilities, ensuring operational agility and strategic dominance in evolving combat environments.”
Firestorm’s systems leverage advanced manufacturing processes and modular design principles to deliver scalable, low-cost solutions that address the Air Force’s priorities for operational dominance in contested environments.
“Production for group 1-3 drones anywhere in the world is what we offer,” said Chad McCoy, Co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer of Firestorm Labs. “Our vision is to enable the production of systems, parts, and prototyping at the edge, agnostic of vendor. xCell is our response to the challenges of an uncertain supply chain, isolated geography, and contested logistics that demand innovation. Working closely with the Air Force has allowed Firestorm to focus on the hardest problems and deliver impactful solutions. We’re not offering a single solution for a niche problem; we are laying the foundation for the future of warfare.”
