StraCon

What StraCon does

StraCon Services Group, LLC is a privately held U.S. small business founded in 2008 and headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas, that delivers professional services to the U.S. Department of Defense, primarily the Department of the Navy. Its core work covers program management, systems engineering, digital engineering, training systems, Foreign Military Sales support, cybersecurity, and strategic communications for naval aviation programs. The company supports at least 10 NAVAIR Program Management Offices (PMA-201, PMA-205, PMA-234, PMA-242, PMA-261, PMA-266, PMA-268, PMA-272, PMA-299, and others) and 12 Major Defense Acquisition Programs across crewed and unmanned platforms, with secondary exposure to U.S. Army training (AVLE) and DSCA-led international programs spanning 47 partner countries.

The technology stack centers on Model-Based Systems Engineering and Product Lifecycle Management, using SysML tools (Magic Draw/Cameo) for system architecture and Siemens Teamcenter for digital thread and digital twin lifecycle support. Training systems rely on an xAPI enterprise learning ecosystem paired with VR and serious-gaming courseware for both Navy aviation platforms and Army MOS training. StraCon holds ISO 9001:2015 and CMMC Level 2 (C3PAO) certifications, which are effectively mandatory for handling controlled unclassified information on DoD task orders.

Revenue is generated almost exclusively through federal contracting mechanisms. StraCon operates as both prime contractor and subcontractor on vehicles including SeaPort-NxG, OASIS+ (Total SB and Unrestricted), MDA SHIELD, Naval Aviation Systems Consortium, and C5. Contract awards span $15M to $184.8M ceilings and are structured as IDIQ, fixed-price, or time-and-materials vehicles across multi-year performance periods. Customer concentration is high within the Navy/NAVAIR ecosystem, partially offset by a broad portfolio of PMAs and an FMS practice that gives indirect exposure to international defense buyers. The firm employs nearly 400 cleared professionals, was founded and led by Debbie Paris until her May 2026 transition to Chairman, and is now led by CEO Ken Fancher.
