ARMTEC COUNTERMEASURES CO

ARMTEC COUNTERMEASURES CO specializes in the design, manufacturing, and supply of critical defensive countermeasure systems for U.S. military platforms, with deep expertise in infrared flares, chaff cartridges, and impulse-driven pyrotechnic components. The company produces classified and standardized munitions such as the MJU-61, MJU-77/B, and M206 infrared countermeasure flares, alongside RR-198/RR-199 and RR-170A/AL chaff systems, all engineered to defeat modern missile guidance technologies. Their technical proficiency spans pyrotechnic formulation, precision dispensing mechanisms, and aerospace-grade packaging, ensuring compatibility with fighter aircraft like the F-22 and other tactical platforms. A key differentiator lies in their ability to deliver mission-critical countermeasure payloads under strict military specifications, with proven reliability in high-stress combat and training environments. The contractor maintains an exclusive relationship with the Department of Defense, supplying directly to defense programs focused on aerial survivability and electronic warfare. Their work supports aircrew protection initiatives across multiple service branches, particularly in aircraft self-protection systems requiring certified, battle-ready countermeasures. All engagements are tied to defense-specific procurement channels, indicating a tightly integrated role within the DoD’s munitions logistics and readiness infrastructure. ARMTEC’s primary industrial focus is in explosives manufacturing and miscellaneous chemical product production, aligning with the defense industry’s need for specialized, non-explosive propellants and pyrotechnic mixtures. While they hold a NAICS code in aeronautical system manufacturing, their actual output centers on consumable countermeasure payloads rather than sensors or guidance hardware. This positions them as a niche supplier within the defensive countermeasures supply chain, serving as a critical link between chemical formulation and operational deployment. The company is structured as a 2L entity based in Coachella, California, with no publicly listed government certifications. Its geographic footprint and operational scope are narrowly focused on fulfilling DoD-specific defense contracts, reflecting a specialized, mission-driven business model centered on technical precision and supply chain reliability.
