Airship AI Holdings, Inc. announced a $2.1 million firm‑fixed‑price award from a Department of Homeland Security agency on April 16, 2026. The contract will support the company’s AI‑driven video, sensor, and data‑management solutions for public safety and investigative purposes, with a focus on the Northern and Southern Borders.

The award is a follow‑on contract that builds on Airship AI’s growing federal pipeline. The company previously secured a $4 million DHS contract in October 2024 and an $11 million combined DOJ/DHS award in September 2025, underscoring a steady stream of government business and a deepening relationship with homeland‑security agencies.

Management highlighted the strategic importance of the win: “This award reflects the continued momentum and critical importance of AI‑driven surveillance solutions in advancing public safety and homeland security, especially along the Northern and Southern Borders.” The company also noted that autonomous edge‑AI surveillance is becoming an essential force multiplier for law enforcement, delivering greater operational efficiency, enhanced accuracy, and improved threat detection.

While the $2.1 million contract is modest relative to Airship AI’s FY2025 revenue of $15.3 million, it adds to a pipeline that supports the company’s projected 135 % revenue growth for FY2026. The firm’s Q4 2025 revenue of $6.5 million and a gross margin of 51.2 % demonstrate a solid operating foundation, even as the company recorded a net loss of $43.82 million in FY2024. The new contract reinforces the company’s trajectory toward higher margins and expanded federal market share.

The contract strengthens Airship AI’s position in high‑security, bandwidth‑constrained environments and signals continued demand for its edge‑AI platform, supporting the company’s broader growth strategy and reinforcing investor confidence in its federal business model.
