The military service placed an initial $29.2M order for the first batch of BQM-177A SSATs along with the technical data package, Kratos said Monday.
The Navy could procure additional target drones by exercising the contract's lot 2 and 3 FRP options. Work will take place at contractor facilities in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, and Sacramento, California.
BQM-177A, which reached initial operational capability status in February 2019, is designed to mimic anti-ship cruise missile threats at sea and fly at a speed of over 0.9 mach.
Steve Fendley, president of Kratos' unmanned systems division, said the FRP 1 award and site activation work currently underway mark key steps toward declaration of full operational capability for the program this fiscal year.
