CACI secures $124 million contract to protect Canadian forces from drones

RESTON, Va. - CACI International Inc (NYSE:CACI), a technology solutions provider with a market capitalization of $10.7 billion, announced Monday it has been awarded two contracts with the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) as part of the second phase of the Counter Uncrewed Aircraft System (C-UAS) Urgent Operational Requirement. According to InvestingPro data, the company maintains strong financial health with liquid assets exceeding short-term obligations.

The contracts, valued at approximately $124 million, will provide the Canadian military with light-armored tactical C-UAS vehicle platforms and support for up to 10 years. This follows CACI’s initial award under phase one of the project in 2024.

Under the new agreements, CACI will deliver modular and scalable systems capable of detecting and defeating drone threats from all angles. The mobile solution includes full compatibility with a dismounted omnidirectional 360-degree system.

"The prevalence of small uncrewed aerial vehicles presents a growing threat to the U.S. and its allies," said John Mengucci, CACI President and Chief Executive Officer, in the press release.

The technology is designed to be quickly deployed and ready for immediate use, according to the company. CACI’s systems leverage software-defined architecture based on the company’s experience in electronic warfare.

CACI, which employs approximately 25,000 people, specializes in national security technology solutions. The company is listed on the NYSE and is included in the Fortune 500, Russell 1000 Index, and S&P MidCap 400 Index.

The contract represents part of Canada’s efforts to address emerging threats posed by hostile small uncrewed aircraft systems to its armed forces personnel during deployments. With a strong current ratio of 1.47 and analysts predicting continued profitability, CACI appears well-positioned to deliver on these critical defense contracts.

In other recent news, CACI International reported strong fourth-quarter 2025 earnings, significantly surpassing expectations.
