Navigator International

What Navigator International does

Navigator International LLC is a privately held, veteran-owned (SDVOSB) government and defense contractor headquartered in Huntsville, Alabama, with regional offices in Enterprise, AL, and international offices in Istanbul, Turkey and Erbil, Iraq (KRG). The company operates three integrated service pillars marketed as 'Build, Train, Sustain.' Build delivers end-to-end construction services for facilities ranging from office buildings and motor pools to specialized defense infrastructure such as shooting ranges and the F-35 Scuff and Refresh Facility at MCAS Cherry Point. Train provides interactive 3D and hands-on training solutions for classroom, battlefield, and flight line environments. Sustain offers complete lifecycle management — logistics, engineering support, modification fielding, and maintenance — for complex and legacy defense programs.

Underlying capabilities are anchored in a credential stack that includes AS9100, ISO 9001, SOC 1, SOC 2 Type 1 and Type 2, ITAR exporter/broker licensing, and a GSA Schedule (GS-00F-393GA) enabling direct federal procurement. The company augments its three core pillars with add-on services: fabrication, paving, telecommunications, packaging/shipping/delivery, labor/supply/inventory management, and a separate hardware product line marketed under the Navigator Units (nav-units.com) brand. Core technology specifics are not publicly disclosed, though 'interactive 3D' training implies simulation/visualization tooling.

Revenue is generated through multi-year, quote-based government contracts awarded via the GSA Schedule vehicle and direct defense procurement, with named customers including the U.S. Department of Defense, Tyndall Air Force Base, MCAS Cherry Point, and the Charlie Norwood VA Medical Center. International revenue is enabled by ITAR licensing and in-region offices in Turkey and Iraq. Founded circa 2014, the company is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, and headcount is reported in the 251–500 range.
