Hadrian
Software-defined factories and full-stack production capacity for America's aerospace and defense industrial base.
The product
Precision components, assemblies, complete mission-critical products, and dedicated highly automated factories powered by Hadrian's Opus factory-autonomy software stack.
The thesis
Hadrian is addressing scarce domestic production capacity and fragmented defense supply chains by treating the factory itself as a repeatable product that can add qualified capacity faster.
How it runs
Hadrian owns and operates software-driven manufacturing facilities, offers flexible shared capacity, builds dedicated factories around customer production goals, and deploys production lines with trained operators inside customer-owned facilities. Its seven-year Lockheed Martin agreement adds a concrete customer-site model: a 24-machine automated machining cell at Lockheed Martin's Grand Prairie, Texas, Missiles and Fire Control facility, with commissioning expected in early 2027 and access to Hadrian's wider factory network. Through its Atlas Supply Chain Platform, Hadrian also manages vetted-supplier procurement from initial RFP through full-BOM delivery for programs moving from new-product introduction to full-rate production.
How it earns
Manufacturing revenue from components, assemblies, and complete products, plus long-duration dedicated-capacity relationships through its Factories-as-a-Service model.
Why it wins
Opus integrates legacy design interpretation, production planning, automation, and inspection; Hadrian pairs that software with greenfield factories, robotics, and a workforce model designed for rapid technician ramp-up.
