Mach Industries
Builds jet-powered VTOL strike UAVs (Viper) and low-cost glide munitions (Glide) designed for GPS-denied, low-infrastructure environments with autonomous targeting. Viper completed a fully autonomous flight demonstration in January 2025, six months after the US Army Applications Laboratory awarded its Strategic Strike developmental contract. Operates Forge 1, a 115,000 sq ft decentralized production facility in Huntington Beach targeting up to 1,000 Vipers and 3,000 Glides per month at full capacity. Also holds DIU work and acquired rocket-motor maker Exquadrum in 2025.
