The largest contract worth $98.0 million is an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity, cost-plus-incentive-fee award.

Work on this contract is expected to be completed on April 30, 2019.

The second contract is a $43.8 million worth modification contract for the production and delivery of 5 MQ-8 Firescout vertical take-off and landing tactical unmanned aerial vehicles (VTUAV). The contact also includes one ground control station in support of the VTUAV endurance upgrade rapid deployment capability effort. This contract is slated for completion by the end of 2015.
