Zeus Research and Technology

What Zeus Research and Technology does

Zeus Research and Technology is a privately held, woman-owned small business headquartered in Huntsville, Alabama, founded in 2018 by two former government employees. The company provides research, development, test, and integration services to U.S. federal defense and aerospace agencies, with named customers spanning the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Aviation & Missile Center (AvMC), the Strategic Capabilities Office, PAE Fires, PAE Maneuver Air, and SBIR-funded engagements at Yuma Proving Ground, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, and NAVAIR. Its product portfolio includes Tonsyn 2.0 and a Line Replaceable Unit (LRU) offering, positioned for defense and aerospace applications requiring modular replacement and test/integration capabilities.

The company's revenue model is anchored in direct U.S. government procurement and SBIR Phase I and Phase II contract vehicles. In 2022, Zeus was awarded a $49.25M AMTC contract in support of the Aviation & Missile Center — the single largest disclosed contract event — alongside an Innovate Alabama Supplemental Grant as part of a broader $4.5M+ state small-business grant program. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is consistent with negotiated, contract-by-contract government procurement rather than standardized commercial pricing.

Zeus operates exclusively within a single vertical (U.S. federal defense) and a single geography (United States), with all evidence of forward positioning centered on cross-service branch expansion (Army, Air Force, Navy) and trade show visibility (JNC 2026). The company is small (11-50 employees), founder-owned, and has no disclosed parent, subsidiaries, institutional equity, or management team.
