The contract’s initial value is $25 million, which includes drones, controllers, spares, and training support.
Total contract value could reach $91 million if all options are fulfilled over the five years.
Assembly will be handled at Teledyne FLIR’s Norwegian facility, with initial shipments commencing in September 2024.
These systems are intended to improve operational safety and reconnaissance effectiveness for US soldiers.
