The DOD announced the $296.9 million award in its list of new contracts. The Gray Eagle drone system is a version of the company's predator drone program, a long-range, long-dwell system that can carry up to four Hellfire missiles as well as communications and surveillance infrastructure."
Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc., a leading National Security Solutions provider, announced today that its Micro Systems, Inc. subsidiary of the Advanced Drone and Targets Systems (ADTS) Division recently received a five-year contract from the U.S. Army valued at up to $34.77 million for unmanned drone system command, control and communication systems, solutions and services.

The U.S. Air Force now has a total of 37 Global Hawk drones, produced by Northrop Grumman Corporation, after receiving two more in late November, according to ASDNews.
“Global Hawk’s ability to fly more than 30 hours at high altitudes while gathering multiple types of intelligence data makes it extremely valuable to field commanders who need near real-time information,” said George Guerra, the vice president for Global Hawk unmanned aircraft systems.
