08:00 AM EDT, 08/24/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Kratos Defense & Security Solutions (KTOS) said Monday it has allocated its expanded Spartan engine production capacity to provide TDI-J85 engines to Boeing's (BA) Joint Direct Attack Munition, or JDAM, Long Range program. The US Air Force recently awarded Boeing a $75 million undefinitized contract action for the BSU-111/B Payload Delivery Unit, a precision-guided munition capable of traveling more than 300 nautical miles with a 500-pound-class payload, Kratos said. The J85 engine has been selected to power the munition, the company added. Kratos said it has begun procuring long-lead components for a large Spartan engine production run in 2027 and is executing a three-phase plan to expand manufacturing capacity.

During intraday trading on Tuesday, Microsoft's market capitalization briefly surpassed Nvidia, making it the world's second largest publicly traded company by market value. However, after Anthropic released its office suite, Microsoft's losses widened, causing it to fall behind Nvidia once again.
