Identifying what's next. Delivering what's needed. By combining Venus Aerospace's flight‑tested Rotating Detonation Rocket Engine (RDRE) with our integration and manufacturing expertise, we’re accelerating the delivery of next‑generation long‑range precision‑fire capabilities to the warfighter. Our joint effort moves this breakthrough from successful flight test to a practical, field-ready missile platform.

We are proud to introduce PAC‑3 ACE™, the newest low‑cost, high‑performance interceptor built on the trusted PAC‑3® family. Designed to neutralize aircraft, cruise missiles and short‑range ballistic threats, PAC‑3 ACE delivers battle‑tested reliability at less than half the price of a PAC‑3® MSE and reaches operational capability as fast as possible. By partnering with European industry, this joint‑production effort creates a shared, interoperable missile that strengthens trans‑Atlantic resilience. PAC‑3 ACE is a rapid‑field solution that expands the depth of our air‑defense network and prepares allies for today’s multi‑threat environment.

GPS has served as the foundation of modern navigation for decades. As mission environments become increasingly complex, we are advancing the next evolution of resilient positioning, navigation and timing by investing in quantum navigation technologies that can complement GPS with ultra-precise positioning and enhanced resilience. Together, GPS and quantum sensing have the potential to create a multilayered navigation solution that helps ensure greater accuracy, survivability and mission assurance for tomorrow's all-domain operations.

Interoperability is more than operating side by side. It's the ability to connect, share information and act together across the battlespace. The F-35 enables allied forces to fuse data, strengthen situational awareness and accelerate decision-making — helping partners operate as one team when every second matters.

Behind every successful special operations mission is a trusted logistics network. We're proud to continue that legacy as the recipient of U.S. Special Operations Command's 12-year, $10.5 billion Special Operations Forces Global Logistics Support Services (SOF GLSS) 2 contract. For more than 16 years, our teams have provided the logistics, sustainment and infrastructure support that enable U.S. Special Operations Forces to operate with confidence around the world. Together, we'll continue delivering the readiness and reliability our nation's most elite warfighters depend on.
