Three Aerosonde Mk4.7 will be produced in Nigeria with an expected completion date of 30 September 2021, as part of a firm-fixed-price contract worth $25.6 million. Funding is awarded from the FY2019 overseas contingency operations defence fund and was obligated at time of award.

Additionally, two units will also be manufactured in Uganda under another firm-fixed-price contract worth $20.7 million, financed using funds from the DoD FY2020 peacekeeping operations and overseas contingency funds.

Both contracts were issued by US Army Contracting Command based at the Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland.
