Boeing Co. won a contract from the Pentagon to modify a small unmanned aircraft to enable the plane to detect chemical and biological weapons.
The two-year, $8.2-million program will equip two ScanEagle unmanned planes, now being used by the Navy and Marines, with sensors capable of remotely detecting the presence of biological agents before a target is attacked by military forces, Boeing said.
