Based in Arlington, Va., AeroVironment is a leading American defense technology company specializing in autonomous systems and unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) and space and directed-energy technologies serving the U.S. Department of Defense, allied governments, and commercial customers globally.
On January 20, 2026, AeroVironment disclosed that the U.S. government had issued a stop work order on the Company’s agreement to deliver BADGER systems to the Satellite Communication Augmentation Resource (“SCAR”) program. While AeroVironment stated that it expected to continue delivering capabilities under the program, its stock price fell 15.77% on January 20, 2026, closing at $330.89 per share — a decline of $61.97.
On March 2, 2026, Space News reported that the U.S. Space Force was reopening the SCAR program and “reassessing how to move forward,” with Colonel Owen Stevens of the Space Rapid Capabilities Office confirming that the Space Force would “move into a new acquisition strategy for SCAR.” Following this report, AeroVironment’s stock price fell 17.42% on March 2, 2026, closing at $208.32 per share — a drop of $43.93.
On March 10, 2026, AeroVironment reported a third quarter 2026 operating loss of $179.0 million for fiscal year 2026, inclusive of a $151.3 million goodwill impairment in its space division. The Company also disclosed that the Space Force had formally terminated its SCAR contract and that AeroVironment would be required to “recompete” for the program. On this news, AeroVironment’s stock fell 6.24% on March 11, 2026, closing at $207.73 per share.
