RedWire Wants To Be A National Security Leader In Space

The next frontier of national security might be space. And Redwire has made a new acquisition to be on the leading edge of it.

What’s happening:

  • Space infrastructure company Redwire (NYSE: RDW) has officially acquired spacecraft development company Hera Systems

The big idea:

  • Hera Systems manufactures spacecraft that are purpose built for national security missions in geostationary orbit
  • Hera Systems spacecraft can rapidly locate damage and debris in orbit, as well as being able to discern details of what is happening on Earth at twice the resolution of human vision
  • Once a Hera Systems spacecraft has gathered data from a mission into orbit, it then is capable of processing the information through machine learning technology that can communicate in real time with their national security and defense partners

By the numbers:

  • Hera Systems generated $15M USD in revenue in their most recent year of operations
