PROCURE RQ-21 SUAS AND SPARES

The Department of the Navy is procuring RQ-21 SUAS (Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems), specifically the RQ-21A Blackjack drones, and associated spares from vendor Insitu, Inc., under a contract valued at USD 12,443,935.56. These systems are intended for Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions, supporting expeditionary operations from land or sea with up to 16 hours endurance and a 50 nm range. As a program of record for the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps, it enhances tactical units' battlefield awareness and reduces reliance on higher headquarters for ISR.
