Redwire Awarded $20 Million in Follow-On Orders from Navy and Marine Corps Small Tactical Unmanned Aircrafts Systems Program Office (PMA-263) to Deliver Stalker UAS Advanced Navigation and Standard Systems

JACKSONVILLE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Redwire Corporation (NYSE: RDW), a global leader in space and defense technology solutions, today announced it has received awards totaling over $20M in Purchase Orders (POs) in Q1 FY2026 supporting the Navy and Marine Corps Small Tactical Unmanned Aircraft Systems Program Office (PMA263) Family of Small UAS (FoSUAS) Team.

This award encompasses the Marine Corps’ first acquisition of Redwire’s Advanced Navigation version of the Stalker Block 30 uncrewed aerial system (UAS). These new systems will provide a significant increase in capability and will join the nearly 250+ existing Stalker aircraft already fielded by the Marine Corps. Each Advanced Navigation system consists of air vehicles; ISR camera payloads; short, medium, and long-range ground control stations; and all associated support kits.

“Advanced Navigation is critical for long-range reconnaissance missions where drones must operate in contested, GPS-denied environments over vast distances,” said Steve Adlich, President of Redwire Defense Tech. “Our Stalker UAS has a 20-year legacy of combat-proven reliability, mission-driven performance, and adaptability. We are proud to support PMA263 as they modernize small UAS capabilities for the Marine Corps and strengthen readiness across key mission sets.”

The transition of the U.S. Marine Corps’ Stalker UAS fleet from the existing Stalker Block 30 to Advanced Navigation configurations ensures the Marine Corp stays on the cutting edge of technology to support its mission on quickly evolving modern battlefield. The Advance Navigation Stalker enables enhanced situational awareness, improved target tracking, and greater operational flexibility for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) missions, in highly contested electronic warfare (EW) environments, similar to that being experienced in Ukraine today.

This procurement was completed through the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Tailored Logistics Support (TLS) contract, an indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) multiaward contract (MAC). Atlantic Diving Supply (ADS) served as the prime contractor for this award.
