Boeing Gets FAA Registration Number for MQ-25 Tanker Drone Offering - top government contractors - best government contracting eventBoeing has secured a registration number from the Federal Aviation Administration for its proposed unmanned aircraft system for the U.S. Navy’s MQ-25 Stingray carrier-based tanker drone program, FlightGlobal reported Thursday.

The company received Dec. 26 the FAA registration number N234MQ for its proposed “T1” drone prototype.

Boeing previewed its demonstrator for the MQ-25 unmanned aerial refueling tanker program in December two months after the service branch issued the final request for proposals.

Other companies that submitted bids for the program include Lockheed Martin and General Atomics’ aeronautical systems business.

Northrop Grumman dropped out of the tanker drone competition in October.

The Navy closed the solicitation Wednesday and is expected to award the development contract for up to 72 unmanned tankers later this year, the report added.
