Kratos Defense & Security Solutions’ Unmanned Systems Division has received approximately $4.8 million in new awards for its high performance jet drones.
The orders also include support equipment for Kratos jet drones and specialty composite components.
Kratos’ high performance unmanned aerial drone systems are designed for threat representative target missions to exercise weapon, radar and other systems; and tactical aerial drone systems for strike/ISR and force multiplication missions.
