AEVEX has secured $20.5 million in new awards to deliver and further develop one-way attack systems for U.S. government customers. The awards expand the company’s work across high-priority operational missions.

The company will supply the systems and provide related engineering, development and integration services. The resulting capabilities will be used in operational and training environments to support readiness and mission preparation.

“AEVEX customers continue to rely on our ability to design, build, and deliver autonomous capabilities with precision, reliability, and speed,” said Roger Wells, Chief Executive Officer at AEVEX. “Our one-way attack systems are informed by real-world operational demands and built to perform in contested and dynamic mission environments.”

“We are proud to deliver affordable, scalable capabilities that strengthen warfighter effectiveness and meet the pace required by today’s operational tempo.” The company is positioning its one-way attack systems to meet demand for capabilities that can be produced and fielded at scale.

AEVEX’s broader portfolio includes autonomous aircraft, mission autonomy software and modular deployment architecture. The systems are designed to address changing defense requirements across air and maritime operations.

The company said its U.S. manufacturing network and integrated development structure allow it to produce, modify and field systems rapidly. These capabilities are intended to support both U.S. and allied forces.

AEVEX is investing in manufacturing capacity, autonomy technologies and customer-led engineering. The spending supports rising demand from the Department of War and international partners.

The new awards are part of AEVEX’s strategy to align its products with defense procurement priorities. They also expand the company’s delivery of autonomous capabilities for emerging mission requirements.
