July 15, 2026 7:00 AM

Redwire Corporation (NYSE: RDW) announced it has received follow-on purchase orders totaling $21.5 million from the Portfolio Acquisition Executive Robotic Autonomous Systems (PAE RAS) Aircraft Program Management Office to deliver Stalker uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) to the U.S. Marine Corps.



The orders, received in Q2 2026, include a second order for an Advanced Navigation version of the Stalker Block 30 UAS, along with standard systems. The awards follow $20 million in orders received in Q1 2026, which included the Marine Corps' first acquisition of the Advanced Navigation Stalker Block 30.



Each Advanced Navigation system includes air vehicles, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) camera payloads, ground control stations of varying range, and associated support equipment.



The Marine Corps currently operates hundreds of existing Stalker platforms. The new acquisitions are intended to transition that fleet from the standard Stalker Block 30 to Advanced Navigation configurations.



The procurement was completed through the Defense Logistics Agency Tailored Logistics Support indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract, with Atlantic Diving Supply serving as the prime contractor.



"Redwire is honored to continue to support PAE RAS as they modernize small UAS capabilities for the Marine Corps and strengthen readiness across critical mission areas," said Joshua Stinson, Co-President and Chief Growth Officer of Redwire Defense Tech.
