Frontier Defense Technology has begun operational testing of GRIDWATCH: QRF, an iPad-based tactical decision training platform that captures expert command decisions to train next-generation AI advisors for the fielded GRIDWATCH C2 system.
Frontier Defense Technology has been awarded a $2.1 billion contract for full-rate production and fielding of the GRIDWATCH Battle Command & Control System across active-duty brigade combat teams. The contract includes production of ruggedized tablet units, software sustainment, and training support through FY2031.
The company has completed its corporate rebrand from Atlas Strategic Systems to Frontier Defense Technology, Inc., reflecting its evolution from a specialist SIGINT firm to a full-spectrum defense technology enterprise spanning command and control, electronic warfare, autonomous systems, and integrated sensors.
Frontier Defense Technology's counter-UAS system completed IOT&E at White Sands Missile Range, demonstrating a 94% engagement success rate against representative Group 1-3 threats in complex electromagnetic environments. The system is expected to enter Low-Rate Initial Production in Q3 2026.
Fourth quarter revenue of $3.9B exceeded analyst expectations by 7%, driven by strong command and control and autonomous systems demand. FY2026 revenue guidance raised to $15.4-15.8B. Backlog grew to $42B.
