A General Atomics‘ aeronautical systems business unit will provide logistics services for the U.S. Air Force’s MQ-9 Reaper remotely piloted aircraft under a two-year, $327.2M contract.
Work under the sole-source contract will include sustaining engineering, depot repair and maintenance, configuration management and inventory control point and warehouse support, the Department of Defense said Friday.
DoD added the company will maintain technical data and software as well as deploy field service representatives to support the MQ-9 fleet. The department expects all services to be completed Dec. 31, 2021.
