Our Campus
Our 65-acre secure campus—with 200,000 sq. ft. of labs, manufacturing, and offices—is purpose-built to accelerate defense innovation, from concept to deployment. With lots of room for growth, we are located just outside Dayton, Ohio, a city rich in history of innovation. As the birthplace of aviation, Dayton is sometimes called “Patent City, USA” due to the numerous inventions that originated here, including the cash register, the automatic starter for automobiles, and the pop-top can.
