About this award
General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. was awarded a delivery order valued at $10.78 million on February 22, 2024, for the MQ-9 Reaper Unmanned Aircraft System with a completion deadline of August 29, 2025. The contract, funded by the Washington Headquarters Service (Defense), supports Taiwan's acquisition of MQ-9A Block 1 exportable systems under a Cost Plus Fixed Fee arrangement with no set-aside designation. Work will be performed in Poway, California, where GA-ASI maintains its primary manufacturing facilities for the MQ-9 Reaper platform. This delivery order falls under the broader MQ-9 Reaper Major Defense Acquisition Program (MDAP), which operates under the Major Capability Acquisition pathway with an Acquisition Category IC designation, encompassing procurement, sustainment, and enhancement of medium-altitude, long-endurance unmanned aerial vehicles used for intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, and strike missions.
The contract engages a network of major subcontractors to deliver integrated unmanned systems capabilities. Honeywell International's Aerospace Division is providing turboprop engines, with subcontract awards dating to December 2024 and January 2025. L3 Technologies' Communication Systems-West Division is supplying program management support, aircraft depot repair coordination, and satellite communication antenna assemblies and interim modem components, as documented in a subcontract award from October 2024. Radeus Labs, Inc., a woman-owned small business, was awarded a March 2025 subcontract to provide digital video recorder assemblies. These subcontractors collectively provide critical propulsion, communications, and ground support infrastructure necessary for the complete MQ-9 unmanned aircraft system configuration required for foreign military sales to Taiwan.
