AeroVironment has received a $117.3-million contract to produce additional P550 electrical vertical takeoff and landing unmanned aerial systems (eVTOL UAS) for the US Army.

This purchase follows a $117-million army deal in March for the same drones, an earlier order last December, and initial deliveries that began in August 2025.
