Karman Space & Defense Receives Contingent Demand Commitments for Key Space and Defense Program Production with Total Potential Multi-Year Value of more than $1 Billion

Karman Space & Defense announced receipt of contingent demand commitments from four key space and defense customers.
These commitments represent a total potential value exceeding $1 billion over a four-to-seven-year period.
Written expressions of intent specify minimum order volumes by subassembly and are contingent on customers securing funded contracts.
Jon Rambeau, Karman CEO, stated demand is nearing conversion to firm contracts as customers finalize space launch schedules or receive Department of War contracts.
The requirements span key defense programs including several Munitions Acceleration Council priority weapon systems such as THAAD, PAC-3, Tomahawk, GMLRS, and PrSM.
Karman is maintaining production capacity ahead of customer demand to ensure alignment with future needs.
The company supports incumbent and emerging U.S. space launch providers with payload protection, aerodynamic interstage, and propulsion systems.
Karman serves more than 80 prime contractors supporting over 130 space and defense programs with nearly 50 years of operational history.
The announcement includes standard forward-looking statement disclaimers regarding risks such as government budget dependencies and competitive bidding processes.
