Strategic Contract Expansion

Strategic direction has expanded through high‑profile contracts. Kratos secured a U.S. Air Force award with GE Aerospace to design the GEK1500 engine for small Collaborative Combat Aircraft and a Pentagon hypersonic materials‑testing award, underscoring its role in thermal protection systems. The company also obtained a hypersonic materials testing award that could double the hypersonic franchise revenue in 2026. In space and satellite programs, Kratos achieved a successful command‑and‑control software test with Airbus. Serial production of tactical drones and investments in missile propulsion and microelectronics supply chains are underway, aligning with its unmanned‑systems, propulsion, hypersonic, and missile supply‑chain focus.
