Fortem Technologies has officially opened a major new manufacturing headquarters in Lindon, UT, aimed at meeting the global surge in demand for counter-drone systems. The 51,000-square-foot facility more than doubles the company’s production capacity and brings all manufacturing operations in-house—allowing Fortem to rapidly build and deploy its DroneHunter® interceptors and TrueView™ radar systems, which are already active in Ukraine, the Middle East, and key infrastructure sites worldwide.
This new HQ is a leap forward in both scale and agility. With on-site flight testing and streamlined assembly lines, Fortem can now produce hundreds of radar units and interceptors each month, cutting lead times and ramping up output to meet fast-evolving threats. As drones continue to redefine modern warfare, Fortem is positioning itself at the forefront of airspace defense—delivering smart, kinetic solutions to take down rogue drones in real time.
Contract Opportunities: SAIC
Science Applications International Corp. (SAIC) just landed a major $928 million contract to support the U.S. Air Force’s Tactical Exploitation of National Capabilities (AF TENCAP) through the HOPE 2.0 program. Set to kick off in July 2025, this five-year initiative focuses on rapidly delivering cutting-edge, cross-domain warfighting solutions by integrating intelligence capabilities directly into military operations. The aim is clear: move faster from concept to prototype and give warfighters an edge by making better use of existing air, space, cyber, and ISR systems.
Under HOPE 2.0, SAIC will play a central role in research, development, and testing of mission-ready technologies that enhance decision-making, command and control, and battlespace awareness. The contract emphasizes innovation across the board—from sensor fusion to cyberspace capabilities—while also tapping into a mix of traditional and non-traditional defense partners. In short, this deal isn’t just about building tech—it’s about building smarter, faster, and more integrated defense solutions to meet today’s evolving operational demands.

Cleared Opportunities
Skyways just scored a $5 million credit investment from Leonid Capital Partners to fuel production of its V3 autonomous cargo aircraft for the U.S. Department of Defense. This latest funding comes on the heels of a $37 million award from the Air Force’s AFWERX program and marks a pivotal step in Skyways’ transition from prototyping to full-scale manufacturing.
The V3 platform builds on the company’s earlier success with its V2 model, boasting vertical takeoff and landing, over 1,000 miles of range, and 20+ hours of endurance—all while carrying 100 lbs of payload. With nearly 200 test flights already under its belt, the V3 is shaping up to be a serious contender in the future of military logistics. Skyways is clearly positioning itself to be a key player in next-gen aerial mobility, and this funding accelerates its path toward becoming a full-fledged Program of Record.
