Aerovironment To Provide Raven Small UAS And Training To Allied Nation

$2,424,595 Firm-Fixed-Price Contract For Raven Small UAS

AeroVironment has announced that on March 3, it received a $2,424,595 firm-fixed-price contract to provide an allied nation with its Raven small UAS and training. Delivery is anticipated by August of this year.

“With its rugged design, small footprint and high resolution sensor capabilities, the combat-proven Raven offers allied forces the actionable intelligence they need at a moment’s notice in the most extreme environments,” says Rick Pedigo, vice president of sales and business development for AeroVironment.

With a wingspan of 4.5 feet and weighing in at 4.2 pounds, the Raven UAS is designed for rapid deployment and high mobility for operations that require low-altitude intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR). Capable of providing situational awareness during the day as well as at night, the hand launched UAS has an operational range of 6.2 miles. Its Mantis i23 EO/IR gimbaled payload delivers real-time video or infrared imagery to ground control and remote viewing stations.
