Kratos Defense opens new 55,000-square-foot hypersonic system manufacturing

Kratos Defense (KTOS) & Security Solutions announced the opening of its new 55,000-square-foot hypersonic and “Other” system manufacturing and payload integration facility in Princess Anne, Maryland. Eric DeMarco, President and CEO of Kratos, said, “This new facility is another example of Kratos’ strategy of making upfront commitments to rapidly develop and field relevant national security hardware, products and systems, and invest in growing the U.S. defense industrial base. Similar to other Kratos facilities, Princess Anne is directly tied to either customers, programs, contracts, partners and specific hardware, products and systems, resulting in a tailored, efficient, manufacturing, integration or production facility, resulting in low cost, efficient rapid execution and delivery to the warfighter.”
