- Redwire Corporation is an integrated aerospace and defense technology company focused on advanced space infrastructure, autonomous systems, and multi-domain operations. It provides a broad portfolio of products and services including deployable solar array systems; rigid panel, flexible blanket, and concentrator photovoltaic systems; spacecraft mechanisms such as booms, articulated structures, and deployment systems; high-efficiency photovoltaic assemblies; subsystems for space missions; autonomous and uncrewed aerial systems; advanced ISR optics; and resilient energy solutions including fuel cells and power systems. The company serves civil, commercial, and national security space markets with operations primarily in the United States and Europe. Founded in 2012 and headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida, Redwire leverages digital engineering and AI automation to deliver aerospace infrastructure and multi-domain technology solutions.
Recent major developments include the strategic acquisition of Edge Autonomy in 2025 for $925 million, enhancing Redwire’s capabilities in uncrewed airborne systems and expanding its customer base in defense and national security. The acquisition complements Redwire’s existing portfolio by integrating autonomous AI-enabled multi-domain operational technologies. In 2025, Redwire secured a $44 million DARPA contract to advance the Otter Very Low Earth Orbit mission using its SabreSat platform and opened a new 85,000 square foot facility in Ann Arbor, Michigan, to increase production of critical fuel cells for both the Stalker uncrewed aerial system and other applications. Redwire also announced partnerships to provide roll-out solar arrays for Axiom Space’s first station module and expanded its defense business through a new rapid capabilities facility in Albuquerque, New Mexico to bolster space-based defense systems. The company continues to strengthen its board, adding new independent directors and refreshing leadership to align with its growth strategy.
These initiatives position Redwire as a leader in space infrastructure and defense technology, with comprehensive offerings that include advanced space power generation, deployable space systems, autonomous aircraft, and mission-critical energy systems, supporting complex space missions from Low Earth Orbit to lunar exploration and multi-domain defense operations.
