Erin M. Hansen

Erin M. Hansen serves as LSI Project Lead at the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division, where she leads the planning, execution, and oversight of specialized acquisition initiatives for advanced naval aviation systems. In this role, she is instrumental in translating technical requirements for flight control systems, avionics, and diagnostic instrumentation into executable contract strategies that align with the agency’s mission to sustain and enhance next-generation naval airpower. Her acquisitions focus on high-integrity, mission-critical components requiring rigorous testing and certification, often involving complex engineering integration and lifecycle support. Hansen maintains strong, long-term partnerships with leading defense contractors including Lockheed Martin Corporation, BAE Systems Information and Electronic Systems Integration Inc., PCI Aviation LLC, Critical Communications, Controls and Instruments, LLC, and Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC. These relationships are built on consistent performance in delivering specialized aerospace subsystems, embedded instrumentation, and mission-critical communication hardware. Her procurement approach emphasizes technical rigor, supplier reliability, and seamless integration with existing naval aircraft platforms, fostering collaborative vendor engagement throughout the acquisition lifecycle. Her contracting activity is exclusively non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on accessing the broadest possible pool of qualified industrial capability to meet stringent performance, security, and interoperability standards required for naval aviation systems. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through socioeconomic set-asides, her portfolio remains open to all eligible vendors meeting technical and quality benchmarks. Hansen’s procurement portfolio is entirely concentrated under NAICS 336413, Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing, with an emphasis on high-reliability avionics, flight data acquisition systems, cockpit instrumentation, and support electronics for carrier-based aircraft. Her technical domain expertise spans aerospace control architectures, embedded computing, and mission systems integration, ensuring acquisitions align with the Navy’s evolving operational needs in electronic warfare, surveillance, and aircraft sustainment.
