AIRO Group Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: AIRO) shares are rising significantly in U.S. trading today, advancing 12.74% to $24.69 at the last check. The surge follows the company’s announcement of the successful conclusion of a high-impact 90-day training support mission for Naval Special Warfare (NSW). This milestone adds to the robust revenue growth seen throughout 2024 and the first half of 2025 in AIRO’s military training division.
Sustained Defense Support Across U.S. Regions
As a specialized provider of training for elite military forces, AIRO has continued its role supporting the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps’ Joint Terminal Attack Controller (JTAC) program. Utilizing its fleet of fighter jets and specially modified twin-engine Cessna aircraft, the company executed hundreds of Close Air Support (CAS) missions across California, Idaho, and Nevada.
These activities were conducted under multiple award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts, including the Terminal Attack Controller Trainer (TACT) and Naval Special Warfare Air Support initiatives.
Global Recognition and Strategic Contract Awards
Amid global instability and ongoing conflict in more than 60 regions, AIRO has emerged as a critical partner to the U.S. Department of Defense and allied defense forces. The company’s inclusion in the $5.7 billion Combat Air Force/Commercial Air Service (CAF CAS II) IDIQ contract highlights its reputation for reliability and innovation in mission-focused solutions.
AIRO extended its Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) and CAS activities in early 2025 to support significant Air National Guard exercises as well as regular readiness.
Expanding Capabilities and International Training Reach
To date, AIRO has secured over $30 million in direct NSW support contracts, providing advanced ISR platforms, full-motion video capabilities, live munitions, dynamic unmanned targets, and CAS expertise. Its brand, ‘Coastal Defense,’ remains central to delivering realistic training for tier-one operators.
AIRO is also preparing for a major international exercise, deploying over 50 remotely controlled ground targets and eight specialized control teams, further reinforcing its global role in operational readiness and inter-service coordination.
