AeroVironment is an integrated defense technology provider serving the U.S. military, intelligence agencies, and allied governments with autonomous systems, space technology, and directed energy solutions. The company operates through two main segments: Autonomous Systems, which designs and manufactures uncrewed aircraft, ground and maritime vehicles, loitering munitions, counter-unmanned systems, and command-and-control software; and Space, Cyber and Directed Energy, which develops satellite and laser communications systems, laser weapon systems, and cyber and intelligence analytics capabilities. Revenue comes from both product sales and service contracts, with the majority derived from U.S. government customers and foreign allies, and the company competes through technological breadth, decades of innovation experience, advanced manufacturing capabilities, and rapid prototyping culture.
