The space and defense company's stock took off that day, closing the trading session more than 8% higher in price. This was almost entirely due to a new contract from an arm of the U.S. military. Business in the air Voyager announced that morning that it had been contracted by the Air Force Research Laboratory to develop state-of-the-art intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) systems enhanced by artificial intelligence (AI). The contract is worth $21 million. Image source: Getty Images. The work will see Voyager focus on developing signal processing capabilities for multi-domain operations. The company said it will also deliver situational awareness tools that draw information from multiple sources to present a single picture to users. In the press release touting the arrangement, the company wrote that it cements "Voyager's position at the forefront of defense innovation, developing airborne ISR technologies that scale seamlessly from tactical small Unmanned Aircraft Systems to high-altitude platforms while ensuring future-ready adaptability."

It's heartening to see the company secure a major win with a client that is essentially guaranteed to pay for the work without issues. I believe investors were justified in cheering the news and subsequently buying shares of the company. About the AuthorEric Volkman is a contributing Motley Fool finance and stock market analyst.
