U.S. drone maker AEVEX picks up another kamikaze drone deal

AEVEX Aerospace received another US government award valued at about $41 million for one-way attack systems. The order extends government demand for the company's expendable strike-aircraft portfolio, which includes Phoenix Ghost-family designs developed for rapidly evolving battlefield requirements. Contract details do not identify the complete model mix, customer organization, delivery locations or precise schedule. The award confirms funded procurement and associated support, but public information is insufficient to calculate a unit price or conclude how many air vehicles will become operational in US government service.
