Manufacturing for the Modern Battlespace

ForgeX revolutionizes how unmanned systems are designed, built, and deployed. By combining additive manufacturing, digital engineering, and modular design, AEVEX enables rapid, scalable production of mission-ready aircraft at the point of need. This approach accelerates innovation, strengthens supply chains, and ensures combat-proven systems are delivered at the speed of relevance.

Rapid, Scalable Production

ForgeX compresses design-to-delivery timelines from months to weeks. Using advanced additive manufacturing, modular designs, and digital engineering, AEVEX can produce thousands of mission-ready aircraft at unprecedented speed. This rapid, scalable capability ensures UAS platforms are delivered where and when they are needed, keeping pace with evolving mission demands.

Manufacturing at the Point of Need

AEVEX’s proprietary additive manufacturing approach enables aircraft to be built anywhere, including at the tactical edge. By moving production closer to the battlefield, logistics are streamlined and sustainment simplified. This distributed manufacturing model delivers a decisive advantage in contested environments, allowing operators to manufacture, launch, and adapt drones within hours.

Modular Design and Mission Flexibility

Through modular, 3D-printed airframes and open architectures, AEVEX offers unmatched flexibility across mission types and payload classes. Platforms can be tailored for endurance, payload capacity, or precision strike capability while maintaining consistent quality and repeatability. This modular approach strengthens supply chain resilience and enables rapid refresh as mission requirements evolve.
