About this award
The U.S. Defense Department, through its Program Executive Office for Aviation, awarded a $3.4 million firm fixed-price definitive contract to AeroVironment, Inc. on December 9, 2020, for the acquisition of Puma Aircraft Systems destined for Thailand under a Foreign Military Sales arrangement. The contract, which was completed by September 30, 2024, required AeroVironment to deliver these tactical unmanned aircraft systems from its facility in Simi Valley, California. The Puma is a small, hand-launched unmanned aerial vehicle widely used by the U.S. military and international partners for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance missions, making it a key platform for allied defense capabilities.
This award reflects the Defense Department's ongoing commitment to equipping partner nations with proven unmanned systems technology. AeroVironment, as a leading manufacturer of small tactical unmanned aircraft systems including the Raven, Puma, Wasp, and Switchblade platforms, has established itself as a critical supplier to the U.S. armed forces and their international allies. The contract carried no set-aside designation and represents a straightforward hardware delivery under firm fixed-price terms, a common contracting approach for production quantities of mature unmanned systems. The foreign military sale mechanism enabled Thailand to acquire these advanced capabilities through the U.S. government procurement process.
