AeroVironment partners with SNC to build Golden Dome for “Limited Area Defense”

AeroVironment (AVAV) announced a strategic partnership to align multi-domain capabilities to define and build the next generation of integrated, open architecture air & missile defense in support of the Golden Dome for America, or GDA. AV and SNC are building an industrial base team focused on providing comprehensive, layered defenses within GDA, that shield specific, limited-area, high-value locations, such as bases, ships, airfields or critical infrastructure, but then can extend its range as new sensors and interceptors are brought online, particularly from space. AV and SNC are integrating and aligning existing, open architecture solutions. Additionally, SNC sister company, Sierra Space, and AV are exploring synergies to address critical GDA challenges.
