Redwire Corporation (NYSE:RDW) saw its stock rise 2.4% in premarket trading Thursday following news that its wholly owned subsidiary, Edge Autonomy, won a contract to supply unmanned aerial systems to a European NATO member.
The contract covers Edge Autonomy’s Stalker Group 2 fixed-wing UAS, along with spare parts and training. The systems are intended for long-range reconnaissance and intelligence collection, though the client and the financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Designed for endurance missions in challenging environments, the Stalker UAS allows operators to gather imagery and data in real-time, supporting critical decision-making in the field. The platform has accumulated hundreds of thousands of flight hours across six continents.
“As the modern battlefield continues to demand greater capabilities in more agile form, our Stalker UAS can quickly adapt to multiple mission covert operations,” said Steve Adlich, President of Edge Autonomy. “Traditionally, more complex missions have called for larger Group 3 aircraft, but Stalker enables greater capability in a more agile form factor while still allowing for custom configurations.”
Redwire highlighted that the contract signals increasing adoption of the Stalker UAS among allied forces, with the system already in extensive use by the U.S. Department of Defense, emphasizing the importance of interoperability in joint operations.
Edge Autonomy, fully owned by Redwire, focuses on autonomous systems, advanced optics, and energy solutions, with products deployed in nearly 80 countries worldwide.
