GE Aerospace received a U.S. Air Force contract to complete design review work on an engine for autonomous aircraft.
The defense and aerospace technology company said the contract covers the completion of a preliminary design review for its new GE426 engine, which is intended to support the Air Force's medium thrust class Autonomous Collaborative Platform mission.
The engine is "purpose-built for the medium-thrust-class ACP mission, delivering the performance, affordability and manufacturability required for uncrewed, autonomous combat aircraft," the company said Tuesday.
Financial terms of the contract weren't disclosed.
The company completed a concept design review for the GE426 engine in August.
