Redwire Corporation (NYSE: RDW) and the firm’s wholly owned subsidiary, Edge Autonomy, has been awarded a prototype phase agreement by the U.S. Army to develop and deliver its Stalker uncrewed aerial systems (UAS) for the Long Range Reconnaissance (LRR) program.
Under the terms of this contract, Edge Autonomy will deliver Stalker UAS equipped with advanced sensors, secure communications, autonomous mobility features, and modular payload configurations tailored to meet mission-specific requirements.
