# Exos Team Pursues AEDC Work in Tennessee

An Exos Aerospace-led team that includes Starfighters Space is pursuing U.S. Air Force Arnold Engineering Development Complex (AEDC) Velocity Alliance opportunities for aerospace test infrastructure sustainment, restoration, and modernization, including hypersonic capabilities. The team’s white paper was reportedly rated technically acceptable, but onboarding is still underway. This is a pursuit milestone—not a contract award, task order, or funding commitment—so procurement and industry stakeholders should distinguish the team’s qualification progress from funded work.

- Exos Aerospace is leading the pursuit, with Starfighters Space participating as an external teaming member; the opportunity may create a route to compete for future AEDC work once onboarding is complete.
- The potential work concerns test infrastructure sustainment, restoration, and modernization, including hypersonic capabilities, at AEDC in Tullahoma, Tennessee.
- Contractors should track completion of onboarding and any subsequent solicitations or task orders for defined scopes; the signal reports no award, funding, or confirmed revenue.
