CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Aug. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- MORSE Corp (MORSECORP Inc.) is proud to announce that it has been awarded a $48,054,384 firm-fixed-price Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) by the US Army Product Manager, Force Sustainment Systems (PM FSS) in Natick, MA, to develop novel long range autonomous aircraft that can operate in GPS-denied Anti-Access/Area Denial (A2/AD) environments. This agreement's five-year performance period will enable the Army to significantly enhance its Contested Logistics capabilities.

In addition to development and rapid prototyping of novel unmanned aerial systems (UAS), this work will include advancements in GPS-denied navigation technologies, and an array of mission planning and execution tools. The work will culminate in a series of independent test and evaluation events and will transition into rapid scale up of initial manufacturing.

"MORSE prides itself on solving challenging aerospace problems, but very few systems in the aerospace world make it from prototype to production, and this contract enables that," says Adam Ray, Integrated Systems Portfolio Lead. "This is a rare opportunity to see one of our UAS go from initial design to production, in such a short timeline. We are excited to help rapidly close a critical capability gap for the US Military."

This contract award demonstrates MORSE Corp's expertise in aircraft design, autonomy, rapid prototyping, human-machine teaming, and system integration. The resulting low-cost, long-range vehicle will enable critical sustainment activities in challenging regions such as INDOPACOM.
