Redwire Corporation (NYSE:RDW) shares fell Tuesday after the company secured more than $20 million in purchase orders tied to the Navy and Marine Corps’ Small Tactical Unmanned Aircraft Systems Program Office (PMA263).
The award includes the Marine Corps’ first acquisition of Redwire’s Advanced Navigation variant of the Stalker Block 30, expanding a fleet of more than 250 aircraft already in service.
Each system includes air vehicles, ISR camera payloads, ground control stations, and support equipment, designed for long-range reconnaissance in contested, GPS-denied environments. The upgrade is expected to enhance situational awareness, target tracking, and operational flexibility in electronic warfare settings.
The procurement was executed through a Defense Logistics Agency Tailored Logistics Support contract, with Atlantic Diving Supply as prime contractor.
“Advanced Navigation is critical for long-range reconnaissance missions where drones must operate in contested, GPS-denied environments over vast distances,” said Steve Adlich, President of Redwire Defense Tech.
