Redwire Secures $13.8 Million in Stalker Orders for Guard Training

Redwire Corporation secured about $13.8 million in orders for Stalker uncrewed aircraft systems, supporting National Guard training for an Army role that combines aircraft operation and maintenance.

The training is planned for Camp Shelby, Mississippi, and Fort Indiantown Gap, Pennsylvania. It is intended to prepare soldiers for the Army’s 15X Tactical UAS Specialist role, which combines operator and maintainer responsibilities.

The long-range, Group 2 Stalker will be used to teach flight operations, field maintenance and deployment of multi-mission payloads. Soldiers in the role are prepared to operate, maintain and troubleshoot Group 1 through Group 3 uncrewed aircraft systems.

“The Stalker UAS offers advanced multi-mission capabilities and operational durability in extreme environments,” said Joshua Stinson, co-president and chief growth officer at Redwire Defense Tech.
