Army’s Global Tactical Edge Acquisition Directorate turns soldier feedback into fielded upgrades in weeks, not program cycles SARASOTA, Fla. – (Oct. 12, 2026) – Mountain Horse Solutions, a Global Ordnance company focused on mission-critical support, unmanned systems and integrated defense solutions, is delivering additional FD-1 interceptors to the U.S. Army under a second contract awarded by the U.S. Army’s Global Tactical Edge Acquisition Directorate (G-TEAD). The award, issued under an Other Transaction Agreement (OTA), follows an initial G-TEAD OTA awarded this spring. This marks two awards and a fielded capability within a single year, reflecting G-TEAD’s emphasis on accelerating new systems to soldiers. “G-TEAD changed what is possible, allowing us to combine soldier feedback with our ability to rapidly improve and deliver capability,” said Bill Allen, president of Mountain Horse Solutions. “Soldiers assessed the FD-1 and told us what needed improvement.

That sequence did not exist three years ago.” The FD-1 is a compact, dual-use interceptor designed to defeat Group 1–3+ Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) as well as ground targets. It can be emplaced and airborne in…
