AEVEX Adds $20.5M in One-Way Attack System Awards, Expanding Backlog
AVEX sits 32% above its 52-week low of $13.07.
Summary
AEVEX secured $20.5M in new awards to deliver and further develop one-way attack systems for U.S. government customers. This follows a $41M contract for similar systems announced on August 20, indicating continued demand. The new awards include engineering, development, and integration work, expanding the scope beyond delivery. The company's funded backlog had halved to $259.8M as of Q2, so this award helps replenish it. The deal reinforces AEVEX's position in autonomous attack systems, a high-priority defense area.
