Keywords: Navy halts unmanned boat purchases, performance issues

1. On October 21, 2026, the US Navy paused procurement of autonomous unmanned boats produced by BlackSea Technologies, a subsidiary of AEVEX. Reports noted hardware performance constraints with the platform and the emergence of more affordable alternatives. The Navy had previously invested over $130 million in the project and commissioned independent evaluations. The procurement suspension was the main negative factor for the day.

2. From October 19th to 21st, 2026, investor securities class actions and related legal notices continued to appear, involving matters such as resale share registration after the company's IPO. Allegations in these lawsuits remain subject to judicial determination.
