Drone Aviation has been awarded a contract, valued at more than $200,000, for communications sensor integration onto tactical aerostats.
The contract is for Winch Aerostat Small Platform (WASP) tactical aerostats. Drone Aviation will “enable the WASP aerostat to support advanced communications payloads expanding its mission flexibility to include a wide array of additional ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance) requirements including voice and data network range extension and enhanced reconnaissance support,” according to a company news release.
“This [Department of Defense] integration award is the third WASP contract we have received from the DoD this year, demonstrating the WASP’s unique ability to evolve with the emerging challenges facing the modern warfighter,” Drone Aviation CEO Jay Nussbaum said.
