# Redwire Lands Major NATO Ally Contract

**Redwire Corporation ( RDW )** said Tuesday it won a multi-year contract valued in the high eight figures from an undisclosed NATO ally to supply its next-generation Penguin Mk3 tactical uncrewed aerial systems. The deal supports a broader modernization effort aimed at upgrading the country's tactical drone capabilities.

The Penguin Mk3 features enhanced modularity and mission adaptability for NATO and allied operations. Redwire ( RDW ) said the platform has combat-proven experience in contested environments, including deployments in Ukraine, where the company has delivered more than 250 Penguin aircraft to Ukrainian forces.

## RDW Technical Outlook: Momentum And Key Levels

Even with today's dip, RDW is still trading well above its major trend gauges. It is about 26.4% above the 20-day SMA ($10.59) and roughly 48.9% above the 200-day SMA ($8.99). This keeps the intermediate trend pointed higher.

The 20-day SMA remains above the 50-day SMA (bullish), and the golden cross in April (50-day SMA above the 200-day SMA) reinforces that the bigger picture has improved versus last year's downtrend.

For momentum, MACD is the cleaner read right now: it's above its signal line and the histogram is positive, which suggests downside pressure is easing versus the prior downswing even if price is choppy day-to-day.

In plain English, when MACD is above its signal line, it often means sellers are losing control and rebounds have a better chance of sticking.

Key levels are getting clearer after the May swing high and March swing low defined the recent range. A push back toward resistance would tell you buyers are still defending the uptrend, while repeated failures can invite a deeper mean-reversion toward the faster moving averages.
