Edge Autonomy, a subsidiary of Redwire, has been awarded a contract to deliver its Stalker uncrewed aerial system (UAS) to an unspecified European NATO member state.
The package includes Stalker aircraft, spare parts, and training support, though the contract value, delivery schedule, and exact quantities remain undisclosed.
The VXE30 Stalker is a Group 2 reconnaissance drone with autonomous VTOL capability and a modular open-systems design, allowing for quick payload swaps and adaptable mission configurations.
Weighing 22 kilograms (49 pounds), the aircraft can cruise at 50+ knots (93 km/h), reach altitudes of 15,000 feet (4,572 meters), and operate for over eight hours using either a fuel cell or rechargeable battery.
It offers a 160-kilometer (99-mile) communication range, can be assembled in 10 minutes, and requires only a two-person crew to operate.
