  • The contract covers Group 1 aerial-denial UAS, ancillary support equipment, operator training and field-service representative support.
  • The Air Force received 10 offers; $98,000 of fiscal 2026 procurement funding was obligated at award, so the $90 million figure is a ceiling rather than committed revenue.
  • Performance locations will be set by follow-on task orders and the ordering period runs through 19 July 2028.
