Kratos Defense & Security Solutions said it is "further increasing its UK-based capability by the addition of key, seasoned engineering and programme/project management personnel highly experienced in jet UAS / drone systems".
Kratos is a US-based technology company and "industry-leading provider of high-performance, jet-powered unmanned aerial systems."
“This strategic and tactical decision and action we have taken helps position Kratos to be a part of key uncrewed aircraft system programs here in the UK and abroad," said Stacey Rock, president of the Kratos turbine technology division.
"Joining us and supplementing the team are two experienced defence personnel who, between them, have 50+ years of successful complex programme delivery experience within the uncrewed systems arena and an unrivalled understanding of the development and delivery of uncrewed aerial systems," Rock said, without naming the new recruits.
