About this award
This delivery order, awarded July 2, 2020, to General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI), funds the Automatic Takeoff and Landing Capability (ATLC) retrofit for the MQ-9 Reaper Unmanned Aircraft System with a ceiling value of $31.3 million. The award supports the MQ-9 Reaper Major Defense Acquisition Program, managed by the Air Force Materiel Command's Aeronautical Systems Center under the Major Capability Acquisition pathway with an Acquisition Category IC designation. The contract employs firm fixed-price pricing with performance to be completed by March 31, 2025, and was awarded without a set-aside designation through full and open competition. GA-ASI, headquartered in Poway, California, serves as the original equipment manufacturer and primary systems integrator for the MQ-9 Reaper platform, which provides intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, and strike capabilities across U.S. military branches and allied nations.
The effort leverages GA-ASI's core competencies in unmanned aircraft system design, development, and sustainment, enabling autonomous takeoff and landing operations for the Reaper platform. Caes Mission Systems LLC, doing business as Ultra Electronics Herley, serves as the primary subcontractor, providing critical radar altimeter components and associated antennas (4.2-4.4 GHz frequency band) essential to the ATLC system's functionality. Multiple subcontract awards to Caes Mission Systems between December 2020 and September 2022 document the phased procurement of radar altimeter units and radar altimeter antennas necessary to support system retrofit and sustainment requirements throughout the performance period.
