ARLINGTON, Va., February 10, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AeroVironment (AV), through its wholly owned subsidiary Arcturus UAV, has been awarded a contract by the Danish Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organisation (DALO) with a contract ceiling value of $181 million to deliver the JUMP® 20 medium uncrewed aircraft system (UAS) to the Danish Armed Forces. This 10-year program of record will equip the Danish Army with JUMP 20 systems to enhance intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) operations, reinforcing AV's position as a global leader in advanced autonomous solutions.
JUMP 20 is a vertical take-off and landing (VTOL), fixed-wing UAS with 13+ hours of endurance and an operational range of 185 km (115 mi). Runway independent, the system is easily storable and transportable, and can autonomously launch and land at speed without personnel intervention, making it ideal for on-the-move operations.
"JUMP 20 sets the standard for simplicity, modularity, and durability—critical attributes for reliable performance in the demanding Scandinavian terrain," said Shane Hastings, AV's vice president and general manager for Medium UAS. "With a combat-proven track record and over 300,000 operational flight hours, JUMP 20 stands as a best-in-class UAS, equipping the Danish Armed Forces with unmatched multi-mission capabilities to operate effectively in complex and austere environments."
With a 30-pound modular payload capacity, JUMP 20 is engineered to adapt to evolving CONOPS and multi-domain mission demands. Its modular design enables the Danish Armed Forces to seamlessly integrate emerging technologies, ensuring their UAS capabilities remain at the cutting edge. As AV continues to advance its portfolio of robust and diverse autonomy solutions, JUMP 20 is perfectly positioned to scale, incorporating future hardware and software enhancements to meet the dynamic needs of modern warfare.
"This significant contract win reinforces confidence in the JUMP 20 system and underscores AV's commitment to delivering unmatched capability, reliability, and innovation to our customers," said Hastings. "We have a longstanding relationship with the Danish Ministry of Defence, and we're excited to build on that foundation—collaborating with the Danish Armed Forces to enhance their UAS capabilities for years to come."

FICO Unveils Groundbreaking Credit Scores That Incorporate Buy Now, Pay Later Data
FICO® Score 10 BNPL and FICO® Score 10 T BNPL incorporate BNPL data to better reflect modern consumer behavior and drive financial inclusion BOZEMAN, Mont., June 23, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--FICO (NYSE: FICO), global analytics software leader, today announced the launch of FICO® Score 10 BNPL and FICO® Score 10 T BNPL, the first credit scores from a leading credit scoring provider to incorporate Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) data. These innovative scores, developed by FICO from data-driven research, represent a significant advancement in credit scoring, accounting for the growing importance of BNPL loans in the U.S. credit ecosystem. As key additions to the FICO Score 10 Suite, the BNPL versions of FICO® Score 10 are poised to further enhance financial inclusion by applying FICO's innovative approach to incorporating BNPL data along with mainstream credit reports. These scores provide lenders with greater visibility into consumers' repayment behaviors, enabling a more comprehensive view of their credit readiness which ultimately improves the lending experience. "Buy Now, Pay Later loans are playing an increasingly important role in consumers' financial lives," said Julie May, vice president and general manager of B2B Scores at FICO. "By expanding our FICO Score 10 Suite with new models designed to incorporate BNPL data, we're enabling lenders to more accurately evaluate credit readiness, especially for consumers whose first credit experience is through BNPL products. This innovation also supports our mission to expand financial inclusion by helping more consumers gain access to credit." FICO Score® 10 BNPL and FICO Score 10 T BNPL were developed to harness the benefits offered by the incorporation of consumers' BNPL data into calculation. FICO's year-long joint study on BNPL data confirmed that a unique consumer behavior associated with BNPL loans is the potential for a large number of these loans to be opened within a short period of time. To address this, FICO developed an innovative approach that includes aggregating separate BNPL loans together when calculating certain in-model variables. This novel treatment has proven effective at capturing predictive signal from the inclusion of BNPL data while increasing FICO Scores for some BNPL borrowers. In developing these new scores, FICO sought input from many of the largest lenders in the U.S., who recognized the need for a modern scoring model that includes BNPL data. Across this group, there was broad consensus: integrating BNPL data into credit scoring is a critical advancement that allows lenders to make more informed, accurate decisions while responsibly expanding credit access. "Our clients tell us that FICO's initiative to include BNPL data in credit scoring is a progressive step that acknowledges the evolving landscape of consumer financing," added May. "By capturing a broader view of consumer credit behavior, lenders believe they can make more informed decisions, ultimately benefiting both the industry and consumers." FICO® Score 10 BNPL and FICO® Score 10 T BNPL will initially each be offered side-by-side with existing versions of the FICO® Score, at no additional fee from FICO. This approach allows lenders to evaluate the new BNPL-enhanced credit scores while continuing to use FICO's industry-leading models they use today, ensuring a seamless transition and added value. FICO® Score 10 BNPL and FICO® Score 10 T BNPL is expected to be available in the Fall of 2025. For more information visit FICO Score | FICO Credit Score | FICO.
