Kratos Defense & Security Solutions (Nasdaq: KTOS) announced an expansion of its Oklahoma City manufacturing campus, adding over 100,000 square feet of manufacturing and production space to support growing demand for its jet-powered drone systems.

The company currently produces approximately 165 high-performance jet drones annually. The expanded facility is intended to increase that output to meet demand from U.S. military and allied customers.

The facility will support production of the Valkyrie collaborative combat aircraft, which was selected by the U.S. Marine Corps for its Collaborative Combat Aircraft program of record. The site will also manufacture the Mighty Hornet IV, which the company says is expected to support Taiwan's defense requirements.

The expansion will additionally increase production capacity for Kratos' aerial target systems, including the Firejet, which is used for operational testing, evaluation, and weapons training across the U.S. military and allied nations.

"The future fight demands the ability to rapidly produce affordable, high-performance systems at scale," said Steve Fendley, President of Kratos Unmanned Systems Division. "This expansion in Oklahoma City reflects our long-term commitment to investing ahead of customer demand and building the industrial capacity needed to support the Department of War's modernization priorities."

The expanded space will provide manufacturing, assembly, integration, and test capacity for multiple Kratos tactical jet aircraft programs, according to the company's press release.
