Redwire Corp. (NYSE:RDW) is a US-based integrated defense and space technology company focused on the development of space infrastructure and components, and defense technology and avionics, among others.

Earlier this month, Redwire Corp. (NYSE:RDW) clinched a new $20 million follow-on order from the US Marine Corps for the supply of Stalker Block 30, an advanced navigation version of its uncrewed aircraft system or UAS. The order reflected its expanded collaboration with the Department of Defense.

Redwire Corp. (NYSE:RDW) said that the total order was on top of the 250 existing Stalker aircraft already fielded by the Marine Corps.

“Advanced Navigation is critical for long-range reconnaissance missions where drones must operate in contested, GPS-denied environments over vast distances,” Redwire Defense Tech President Steve Adlich said.

“Our Stalker UAS has a 20-year legacy of combat-proven reliability, mission-driven performance, and adaptability. We are proud to support [Portfolio Acquisition Executive Robotic Autonomous Systems] as they modernize small UAS capabilities for the Marine Corps and strengthen readiness across key mission sets,” he noted.
