Washington (UPI) Dec 28, 2018

Insitu has won a $12 million contract for spare and sustainment parts for the Blackjack unmanned aircraft system, the Defense Department announced.

The company, a division of Boeing headquartered in Bergen, Wash., was awarded $12,167,690 for firm-fixed-price delivery against a previously issued basic ordering agreement for parts to maintain the Naval Supply Systems Command's RQ-21A Blackjack systems.

The reusable, 135-pound aircraft is typically used to provide forward reconnaissance. The small plane was formerly known as the Instigator.

Work will be performed in Bergen and is expected to be completed in June.

The Naval Air Systems Command in Patuxent River, Md., is the contracting agency.
