About this award
General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. was awarded a delivery order valued at $310.4M on April 21, 2021, for MQ-9 Reaper Unmanned Aircraft System production under a Fixed Price Incentive contract type with an ultimate completion date of March 6, 2026. The award was funded by the Air Force Materiel Command's Aeronautical Systems Center and represents unilateral and bilateral aircraft production activities for the Major Defense Acquisition Program (MDAP) designated as Acquisition Category IC under the Major Capability Acquisition pathway. The MQ-9 Reaper is a medium-altitude, long-endurance unmanned aerial vehicle primarily employed for intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, and strike missions. Work is performed in Poway, California, and no set-aside designation was utilized for this award. The contract encompasses procurement of complete aircraft platforms, ground control stations, mission systems, sensors, communication equipment, and associated support infrastructure required for military operations.
General Atomics maintains an extensive subcontractor network supporting MQ-9 Reaper production, including critical component suppliers such as Honeywell International (generators, fuel nozzles, pressure transducers, embedded GPS/INS systems), Parker Hannifin Aircraft Wheel and Brake (wheels, brakes, hydraulic components, pump assemblies), Ducommun Labarge Technologies (electrical interconnect and cable assemblies), Textron Aviation (propellers and spinner assemblies), MPC Products Corporation (electromechanical actuators), and Fiber Dynamics (composite intake ducts and structural components). Additional subcontractors provide specialized systems including radar altimeters, ice detectors, antennas, transformers, power converters, battery packs, shipping containers, and precision machined components. This extensive industrial base reflects the comprehensive integration requirements of the MQ-9 platform and demonstrates General Atomics' role as a systems integrator leveraging major aerospace suppliers and specialized component manufacturers across the defense industrial base.
