Kratos Defense and Security Solutions’ Defense and Rocket Support Services Division was awarded the Aerial Target Systems 2 (ATS-2), Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. This is a combined firm-fixed-price, cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order contract with a ceiling of $93.3 million, and a five-year period of performance.

The ATS-2 contract tasks will encompass requirements for research, development, test and evaluation, Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) and non-commercial materials, technical flight, engineering field support, and logistical and technical support associated with unmanned aerial target drone system programs managed by the U.S. Army’s Target Management Office.
