UAV IN SUPPORT OF TUNSISA

The Department of the Army is procuring unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) from AeroVironment under a $5.35 million contract titled 'UAV IN SUPPORT OF TUNISIA.' This acquisition supports Tunisia's military capabilities, likely for counterterrorism and border security operations amid ongoing threats from al-Qaeda and Islamic State affiliates in border areas. The contract aligns with broader U.S. security assistance to Tunisia, including train-and-equip programs exceeding $160 million since 2011 to enhance military professionalism and readiness.
