Starkville-based Camgian Microsystems Corp. has received a $6.99 million U.S. Army contract to develop technologies to stop unwanted unmanned aircraft system (UAS) incursions, U.S. Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-Miss.) announced Monday.

“We are grateful for the continued support of Sen. Hyde-Smith and our congressional delegation,” said Dr. Gary Butler, chairman and CEO of Camgian.
