About AeroVironment

public defense-technology company with capabilities across air, land, sea, space and cyber. Its portfolio includes unmanned aircraft, loitering munitions, counter-UAS and directed-energy systems, reconnaissance, electronic warfare, communications and software. In May 2025, AV completed its acquisition of BlueHalo, bringing additional space, cyber, directed-energy and autonomous capabilities into the combined company. AV describes its current offering as an integrated all-domain portfolio. The business ranges from tactical systems to developing capabilities, so maturity belongs at the individual system or program level. Its corporate headquarters is in Arlington, Virginia, with engineering and manufacturing operations across several states.
