-- Elsight (ASX:ELS) said its Halo connectivity platform has been included in the US Department of War's Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) Blue List, a directory of approved National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA)-compliant unmanned aircraft systems and components, according to a Tuesday Australian bourse filing.
The company said the clearance confirms that Halo meets the Department of War's standards for operational reliability, enabling US military units to procure Halo directly through the DCMA acquisition marketplace, bypassing traditional government acquisition cycles.
The Blue List inclusion is expected to increase adoption and deployment velocity in US military and allied unmanned aircraft system (UAS) programs, the company added.
The company's shares rose 5% in recent Tuesday trade.
