The Defense Logistics Agency procured 6-month electric/solar K1000ULE unmanned aerial systems (UAS) from Atlantic Diving Supply, Inc. for $20,000,955.63, supporting production and delivery ultimately destined for U.S. Army Pacific's 1st Multi-Domain Task Force and Joint Special Operations Command. These next-generation UAS provide ultra-long endurance for Aerial Tier Network Extension (ATNE), Electronic Warfare (EW), and Intelligence Surveillance Reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities, replacing the retiring Shadow UAS program under the DoD's APFIT initiative to rapidly field innovative technologies. The strategic context emphasizes deep sensing in contested Pacific environments, aligning with JADC2 priorities and multi-domain operations.
