AeroVironment Inc

AeroVironment Inc is a defense technology provider that delivers integrated capabilities across air, land, sea, space, and cyber. The company develops and deploys autonomous systems, precision strike systems, counter-UAS technologies, space-based platforms, directed energy systems, and cyber and electronic warfare capabilities. AeroVironment operates an international manufacturing footprint. Effective May 1, 2025, following its acquisition of BlueHalo Financing Topco, LLC, the company operates in two reportable segments: Autonomous Systems (AxS) and Space, Cyber and Directed Energy (SCDE). The Autonomous Systems segment includes Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (UAS). This family of uncrewed systems comprises Group 1-3 UAS, which are deployed globally and offer multi-mission capability, autonomy, versatility, reliability, and ease of use, providing critical situational awareness. Small UAS (SUAS) in Groups 1 and 2 are designed for reliable low-altitude operation, offering real-time observation and communication capabilities with easy transport, assembly, and quiet electric propulsion. Products in this category include Puma LE, Puma 3 AE, Puma VTOL, P550, Raven B, and VAPOR 55 CLE. These SUAS systems utilize common and interoperable handheld ground control systems, along with spare parts and accessories. Medium UAS (MUAS) are Group 3 solutions, including the JUMP 20, JUMP 20-X, and T-20. These are field-deployable and provide extended endurance and increased payload capacity for a broader range of uncrewed missions. The AV_Halo Command and Control Software, which includes Kinesis Command and Control Software, is a modular, hardware-agnostic software ecosystem designed to orchestrate operations across air, land, sea, space, and cyber domains.
