QinetiQ to Supply UAV-Target Support Services for US Navy in $13M Deal
Published on January 11, 2025
The Pentagon has awarded QinetiQ a $13.3-million contract to supply its Vindicator II uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) target support services to the US Navy (USN).
As QinetiQ Target Systems is based in Canada, the deal was facilitated by the Canadian Commercial Corporation as the prime contractor together with Public Services and Procurement Canada.
The five-year deal – with a six-month extension provision – came into effect in December and includes Canadian personnel deployed to provide services to the USN.
It also counts as the sixth consecutive framework agreement awarded to the company’s Medicine Hat Facility, and includes the most extensive deployment of its UAV services to the USN’s San Nicolas Island and Dam Neck training sites.
