About Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc.
Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: KTOS) is a U.S.-based technology company focused on defense, national security, and selected commercial markets. Its corporate headquarters are in San Diego, California, United States. Over time, Kratos has evolved through a mix of organic development and acquisitions into a specialized supplier of mission-critical capabilities, with an emphasis on affordable, scalable solutions for government customers that need speed of deployment, operational performance, and industrial throughput.
Founded in the late 1990s and shaped by years of consolidation in federal technology and services, Kratos gradually shifted away from more generic activities toward higher-value defense and aerospace niches. Today, its portfolio is centered on unmanned systems, satellite and space communications, cybersecurity and cyberwarfare, microwave electronics, missile defense support, propulsion systems, and training/combat systems. This broad yet coherent set of capabilities positions Kratos as a provider of critical building blocks for the U.S. Department of Defense, allied governments, and, to a lesser extent, commercial customers.

Kratos’ core business lines are built around hardware, software, and integrated systems. The company is widely recognized for unmanned aerial systems and drones, C5ISR solutions, space ground and command-and-control systems, microwave products for radar and electronic warfare applications, and low-cost military-grade turbojet engines. It also maintains activities in rocket and hypersonic systems, reinforcing its role in areas where the U.S. defense industrial base is seeking faster production and greater capacity. A key part of the investment case is Kratos’ ability to design products for manufacturability and to move from development to production with an “affordable mass” mindset.
From a competitive standpoint, Kratos sits between large prime defense contractors and narrower niche suppliers. Its differentiation comes from product innovation, speed, cost discipline, and a willingness to serve urgent or emerging mission requirements. That positioning has been supported by a growing industrial footprint in the United States, with operating sites across multiple states, plus selected international locations tied to specific business units, including Israel and Australia.
Recent developments highlight an active growth phase. In 2025 and 2026, Kratos reported revenue growth and improving profitability while continuing to invest heavily in manufacturing, facilities, and R&D. The company also completed a $575 million common stock offering in June 2025, opened a new propulsion manufacturing facility in Michigan to support Spartan engine demand, announced a planned acquisition of Israel-based Orbit Technologies, and formed a joint venture with RAFAEL to establish a U.S.-based merchant supplier of solid rocket motors. For investors, these moves underscore a business that is expanding its industrial base and product breadth, but one that remains exposed to program timing, defense-budget cycles, and continued capital needs.
