Strategic evolution and product portfolio
Expanded from core reconnaissance and lethal drones to include counter-UAS, directed energy, and space domain capabilities after BlueHalo acquisition.
Key products now span JUMP 20, Puma, Switchblade, Titan, BADGER, and LOCUST systems, with strong positions in both drone and counter-drone markets.
Won a major contract for long-haul laser communications, leveraging BlueHalo's advanced pointing and tracking technology.
Focused on open, modular systems and a unified, interoperable software platform (Halo) to enhance flexibility and integration.
Emphasizing edge autonomy and command/control, recently securing an Army contract for edge autonomy software.
Market environment and growth drivers
Defense tech sector is highly competitive, but long-standing expertise and first-mover advantage in drones provide differentiation.
Revenue growth is supported by commercial product development, rapid scaling capabilities, and international demand.
Fiscal 2026 guidance targets high teens year-over-year growth, with upside potential if procurement cycles accelerate and regulatory changes favor counter-UAS deployment.
FEMA grants and the Golden Dome initiative present significant near-term opportunities in critical infrastructure protection.
International demand remains robust, especially in Europe and the Middle East, with products like Puma maintaining market leadership.
Operational and financial outlook
$150 million CapEx planned over FY 2026–2027 to expand manufacturing, including a new Utah facility to boost Switchblade and other product capacities.
Current Switchblade production capacity is about $500 million, expected to rise to nearly $2 billion with the new facility.
Focused on improving free cash flow, particularly by restructuring the Switchblade business to be more cash flow positive.
Merger with BlueHalo prioritized revenue and technology synergies over cost savings, enhancing ability to win large programs like Golden Dome.
M&A strategy targets tuck-in acquisitions to strengthen existing businesses, with ongoing evaluation of opportunities.
Golden Dome: What's the path to $25B opportunity?
Utah facility: What's its role in $2B Switchblade capacity?

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
