Work To Be Performed At Multiple Locations
The Unmanned Systems Division of Kratos Defense & Security Solutions has recently received approximately $38 million in high performance unmanned aerial drone aircraft, systems, and related product contract awards.
Work under these recent contract awards will be performed at secure Kratos manufacturing facilities and customer locations. Due to customer related, competitive, and other considerations, no additional information will be provided related to these contract awards.
"KUSD is a leader in the rapid development, demonstration, and fielding of certain of the highest performance unmanned aerial drone systems in the world at an affordable cost, and these recent contract awards demonstrate Kratos’ positioning as having the right products at the right price points to address our customers’ mission and budgetary requirements,” said Steve Fendley, President of Kratos Unmanned Systems Division.
"Since 2013 we have been making significant internally funded investments in KUSD to develop and own the intellectual property in a suite of high performance unmanned aerial drone aircraft and systems, which is now generating significant returns via long term, multi-year program and contract awards," said Eric DeMarco, President and CEO of Kratos. "As a result, production is now beginning on several new programs and increasing on existing programs, and with our significant KUSD internal investments expected to be complete in the second half of this year, we are forecasting increased revenues, profitability and cash flow.”
