XQ-58 Valkyrie loyal-wingman drone + jet engines + hypersonics — the affordable autonomous-aircraft pioneer.

What they do

Kratos makes large autonomous combat aircraft, jet engines for tactical drones, and hypersonic targets . The flagship product is the XQ-58 Valkyrie — a runway-independent, low-cost (~$3M) unmanned fighter that flies alongside crewed aircraft as a "loyal wingman." Selected for the Air Force's Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) program. Kratos also makes most of the hypersonic test targets the US uses to qualify missile defenses, and is the dominant US supplier of small turbojet engines for cruise missiles and target drones.
