Kratos logs new orders
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.
Steve Fendley, president of Kratos Unmanned Systems Division, said: ‘With worldwide operating tempos increasing for missions supported by Kratos jet drones, the requirement for additional aircraft and the logistical elements that support operations is increasing correspondingly.
'We are committed to supporting our customers’ expanding requirements and are proud to be able to ramp up our production efforts to meet the demand as well as continuing our innovative system design efforts to maintain our systems on the leading edge of the evolving defence needs.’
