SAN DIEGO, Sept. 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc., (NASDAQ: KTOS) a technology company in the defense, national security and global markets announced today that Bill Wilson has been named President of Kratos' C5ISR Systems Division and Corporate Senior Vice President, effective immediately.
KTOS and DPRO are benefiting from rising demand for unmanned systems, with distinct growth strategies shaping their investment cases.
Modern military strategy is shifting from multi-hundred-million-dollar manned aircraft to mass-manufactured autonomous systems and stand-off strike capabilities. While flight software and composite airframes have advanced quickly, turbine engine production has remained a critical bottleneck.
KTOS scales its manufacturing footprint across propulsion, hypersonics and unmanned systems to support affordable defense production.
A science-fiction future is becoming increasingly possible in the present, thanks to rapid advancements in high-energy lasers for military and defense applications. Thanks to major gains in fiber laser technology, tracking, optics, and thermal management, these tools are becoming a reality as potential counter-drone measures, with other applications on the way.
KTOS' $175 million Project Anaconda deal is likely to expand its U.S. Navy radar sustainment role and position it for additional work in later phases.

(Nasdaq: KTOS), a technology company in defense, national security, and global markets, today announced the successful mission of its Aegis Readiness Assessment Vehicle Type B (ARAV-B) ballistic missile target from the Pacific Missile Range Facility in Hawaii.
Kratos Defense & Security Solutions is rated a BUY, leveraging a fast-to-market, affordable defense model beyond drones. KTOS's growth engines include hypersonics, missile components, and satellite C2, with strong government and peer demand driving the backlog to $2.08B. Despite robust revenue growth and expanding backlog, KTOS operates with thin margins, negative free cash flow, and high CapEx, reflecting early-stage operating leverage.
