The 390,000-square-foot facility is located in Parmer Austin
Business Park. Half of the facility will be dedicated to
manufacturing. The new campus also includes engineering design,

programs in the areas of autonomy, cyber, and sensor development.
Work at the site will also focus on new and existing programs
including the design, development, and manufacturing of radio
frequency and electro-optical/infrared countermeasure systems, as
well as aircraft electrification technology.
