Expanding its operations in the state of Oklahoma, Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. will add more than 100,000 square feet to its manufacturing campus in Oklahoma City.
The expansion supports increasing customer demand for the company’s family of jet-powered drone systems, including the Valkyrie collaborative combat aircraft and the Firejet/Mighty Hornet IV. Kratos produces approximately 165 high-performance jet drones annually, and this expansion will enable the company to further increase production to meet growing demand.
“The future fight demands the ability to rapidly produce affordable, high-performance systems at scale,” said Steve Fendley, President of Kratos Unmanned Systems Division. “This expansion in Oklahoma City reflects our long-term commitment to investing ahead of customer demand and building the industrial capacity needed to support the Department of War’s modernization priorities. As autonomous systems become increasingly central to the future force, manufacturing readiness and producing at scale will be just as important as technology readiness, maybe more.”
In June 2025, Krastow announced its plans to to open an advanced manufacturing facility in Bristow, Oklahoma to produce its GEK (GE Aerospace-Kratos) family of turbojet engines. The 50,000-square-foot facility is expected to reach initial occupancy in mid-2026, with full operations ramping up by the fourth quarter of 2026.
