Redwire

Building Momentum and Accelerating Growth. 🚀 Redwire was Made for the Mission. Redwire delivered strong Q1 results with higher margins, +57% revenue growth, and a record contracted backlog of $498.1M. New wins across next‑gen spacecraft, LEO constellations, UAS, and space‑based biotech are expanding the company’s role in high‑value programs. Check out this quarter’s highlights 🔽

Operating from a ship underway at sea is one of the most demanding challenges in naval aviation. The launch and recovery environment is constantly changing as the vessel pitches, rolls, and heaves through the water. Dynamic wind conditions, sea state, and the ship’s forward motion create a complex operating picture that requires precision, reliability, and adaptability. The aircraft must safely launch from and recover to a compact, moving deck while maintaining mission effectiveness in a demanding maritime environment. That is where the Redwire Stalker UAS excels. Purpose-built for expeditionary operations, Stalker delivers long-range, long-endurance ISR from land or sea, providing operators with the flexibility to launch, recover, and redeploy wherever the mission requires. Proven shipboard operations from vessels underway extend operational reach, reduce reliance on fixed infrastructure, and enable persistent intelligence collection across vast maritime domains. #Stalker #UAS #ISR #MaritimeOperations #Autonomy #DefenseTechnology #MadeForTheMission #NavalAviation

The future of #UAS operations isn’t limited to one payload. The open architecture of Redwire’s Stalker UAS enables rapid integration of emerging capabilities—which includes droppable payloads. Our Flight Operations team recently supported the Marines of the Advanced Infantry Training Battalion and the 7316 (Small Unmanned Aircraft System Operator) community in Camp Lejeune. With inert munitions from @OrbitalResearch under one wing and an FPV drone from @neros_tech to engage a secondary target under the other, we showcased the next level of combat preparedness for the UAS fleet. Hitting the bull’s-eye multiple times from up to 1800 feet, Stalker met a major milestone by successfully integrating loitering munitions at the infantry battalion level. Redwire is proud to support our Marines in achieving mission readiness for a rapidly evolving battlespace. #USMC #AITB #Stalker #CombatProven #MOSA

Detection is only the first step. Maintaining custody in rapidly shifting environments is where missions are won. The robust and reliable object tracking provided by our Octopus payloads reduces the risk of losing high-value or time-sensitive targets. The result is continuous awareness of the object, even as it moves, changes speed or alters direction. Beyond sustained target custody, continuously following one or more moving objects results in a clearer operational picture overall. Onboard processing provides the operator with actionable data—enabling faster threat assessment, reduced cognitive fatigue, and more confident decision-making. Keep critical targets in sight.

Grit, teamwork, and fortitude are at the heart of Redwire's ethos, characteristics on full display this past weekend at the Royal Navy and Royal Marines Charity Field Gun Competition in the UK. We were proud to sponsor a #RoyalNavy team in this competition, and we're excited to congratulate them for the fastest run of the day and the least technical faults overall, coming in 2nd place by only half a second! This was an incredible physical feat for all the teams of military personnel who participated in dismantling and reassembling a heavy 12-pounder gun after transporting it across a grueling obstacle course, and a meaningful way to celebrate the spirit of pushing human effort and ingenuity to their limits. #Teamwork #OperationalExcellence #MilitaryTradition #Leadership

A special thank you to the Foundation for bringing together supporters of its mission to honor Marines by educating their children, and for the opportunity to hear remarks from Gen. Eric M. Smith, the 39th Commandant of the Marine Corps. We were proud to be represented by our Senior Program Manager for Navy, Marine Corps and FMS Programs, Capt., USN (Ret.) Jon Voigtlander, MBA, LSSBB and his wife as we joined in supporting the Marine Corps community and the next generation of leaders. #USMC #MarineCorps #MadeForTheMission

When mission success depends on seeing first, the tactical advantage goes to those who can identify threats long before they emerge. Distance is no longer a barrier to rapid decision-making with the Octopus E180 HD MWIR. This gimbal camera payload offers a 4K color electro-optical camera with 20x super resolution zoom that delivers exceptional clarity at extended ranges. With a built-in laser range finder for precise targeting and powerful onboard processing that provides tracking, moving target indication, and advanced image processing, this high-definition thermal #ISR payload turns data into decisive action.

Redwire has been awarded a contract to deliver Penguin Mk2.5 UAS to Taiwan Coast Guard. Redwire will work with Taiwan Color Optics, Inc. (TCO), a subsidiary of SemiLux International Ltd., to deliver its Penguin Mk2.5 VTOL Uncrewed Aerial System (UAS) to the Taiwan Coast Guard to support Taiwan’s broader maritime security and defense resilience planning. Supporting broader #maritime #security and #defense resilience planning, this program represents a key milestone in Taiwan’s deployment of long-endurance #uncrewed systems for maritime surveillance and law enforcement missions. “Our Penguin Mk2.5 VTOL aircraft is field proven for successful execution of all-weather monitoring and advanced intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance operations” said Josh Stinson, Co-President and Chief Growth Officer of Redwire Defense Tech. “Tracking coastline and maritime activities can present unique challenges, and the Penguin is the ideal framework to enhance Taiwan’s coastal defense.” Read the full story at rdw.com/newsroom/redwi…

With recent combat losses of large UAS costing the U.S. nearly $1B, it's no surprise that drone strategy is shifting toward smaller - but just as capable - aircraft. Allen Gardner, Chief Technology Officer of Redwire Defense Tech, has worked with both large and small UAS for more than two decades, and sees the value in the increasing use of more compact, agile, and cost-effective aircraft to carry out advanced ISR operations. But all drones have their limitations, and striking a balance between cost point and capability is key to mission success. As Gardner says, “Everything happening on the modern battlefield right now is pointing to small, long-range Group 2 UAS as the ideal solution that fills many capability gaps."

Intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (#ISR) missions can only be as successful as the quality of the payload camera collecting the data—but clear imagery is only the beginning of sensor advantage. In addition to providing precise geolocation data, Redwire’s Octopus E140 MWIR gimbal camera payload has integrated EO and #MWIR sensors that detect and track through smoke, fog, haze, and other low-visibility conditions. The result? Day-to-night mission continuity for operators who require long range clarity in the most challenging conditions—without compromising platform flexibility.

The modern battlefield is highly dynamic, demanding that systems adapt to keep pace with conditions that can change by the day and even the hour. The mission demands more - more flexibility, more adaptability, more mobility, more covert capability. And with the miniaturization of technology our smaller and more cost-effective UAS are able to accomplish objectives that required larger systems in the past. Hear more from Allen Gardner, CTO of Redwire Defense Tech in this interview during this week’s #Eurosatory Expo in Paris.

Redwire is proud to announce the launch of our upgraded Octopus E180HD MWIR and Octopus E140 MWIR optical gimbal payloads! These payloads provide next-generation gyro-stabilized imagery under complex operating conditions, while also delivering the detection, targeting, tracking, and geolocation data operators need to make fast and accurate decisions. The E180 HD MWIR offers 4K resolution and a high zoom capability that positively identifies from far beyond potential threat zones, safeguarding valuable assets. The E140 MWIR detects and tracks through smoke, fog, haze, and other low-visibility conditions, providing day-to-night mission continuity. Both lightweight payloads are built for ease of integration and engineered for platforms that demand mission-critical ISR performance without excessive payload burden.
