The Department of the Air Force is procuring research, development, test, and evaluation (RDT&E) of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) for intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, targeting (ISR&T), and precision strike capabilities from HII Mission Technologies Corp under this $43.1 million contract. The purpose is to enhance Air Force capabilities in unmanned aerial operations for modern battlefield intelligence and strike missions. This aligns with broader U.S. military strategies emphasizing advanced UAS for multi-domain superiority, as seen in HII's related RDT&E efforts for counter-UAS and vehicle technologies.
