The Allegations: Robbins LLP is Investigating Allegations that AeroVironment, Inc. (AVA) Misled Investors Regarding the Viability and Profitability of its Involvement in the SCAR Program
According to the complaint, on May 1, 2025, AeroVironment announced it had completed the acquisition of BlueHalo, LLC. Three years earlier, BlueHalo had been awarded a $1.4 billion contract to deliver BADGER phased array antenna systems (a type of advanced ground-terminal system used to track satellites), to support the U.S. Space Force’s Satellite Communication Augmentation Resource (“SCAR”) program.
Plaintiff alleges that during the class period defendants consistently assured investors that the SCAR program would drive revenue growth for AeroVironment moving forward. Defendants stated that the SCAR program represented a “tremendous growth opportunity,” that AeroVironment’s work pursuant to the contract was “very much on track,” that the customer was “asking for more [BADGER systems],” and that the Company stood “ready to build more.”
Plaintiff further alleges that during the class period defendants failed to disclose that the Company understated the likelihood that it would imminently face competition from other vendors for the work it performed in connection with the SCAR program and the U.S. Space Force’s ongoing efforts to modernize the SCN and overstated it business and financial prospects.
On January 20, 2026, AeroVironment announced that the U.S. government had issued a stop work order on the Company’s agreement to deliver BADGER systems to the SCAR program. On this news, AeroVironment’s stock price fell $61.97 per share, or over 15%, to close at $330.89 per share on January 20, 2026.
Then, on March 10, 2026, AeroVironment announced disappointing financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2026. These financial results reflected the impact of a $151.3 million goodwill impairment in the Company’s space division after the stop work order on the Company’s BADGER systems built for the SCAR program. AeroVironment also reported that the U.S. Space Force had terminated the Company’s contract concerning the SCAR program, and as a result, it would have to “recompete” for the SCAR program. On this news, AeroVironment’s stock price fell $13.84 per share, or 6.24%, to close at $207.73 per share on March 11, 2026.
