We made history with Ingenuity, the first powered flight on another planet. Now, we’re ready to do it again. Introducing Skyfall: a potential future Mars mission concept developed with NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory for next-gen Mars Helicopters to help explore resources, scout potential landing sites, and pave the way for America’s first Martian astronauts.

Wishing a very Happy 235th Birthday to the U.S. Coast Guard! For over two centuries, the U.S. Coast Guard has stood as a vigilant guardian of our coasts and waterways, embodying courage, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to duty. AV is proud of our long-standing partnership with the Coast Guard. In 2016, our Puma AE unmanned aircraft system played a pivotal role in Operation Deep Freeze, providing invaluable aerial intelligence from the USCGC Polar Star to navigate icy waters and resupply critical research stations in Antarctica. #SemperParatus

From airspace command and control to full-scale threat detection and defeat, AV is defending our homeland and national security missions around the world with our layered counter-drone capabilities. Recently, we showcased our Titan family of RF C-UAS solutions for Secretary Kristi Noem and U.S. Department of Homeland Security officials. #SecuretheSkies

No coffee runs, no sharpening pencils, no busywork... It’s no surprise we were named one of the Top 100 internship programs. Our interns hit the ground running and are making a real impact. As summer internships wrap up and our interns head back to school, we’re celebrating their incredible work and contributions with highlights from our talented Electronic Warfare interns in Sunrise, Florida.

Today is #NationalInternDay! I wanted to take a moment to recognize AV's three Corporate HQ interns Isabella, Takahiro, and Benjamin that have spent their summer with us learning all about our Growth & Government Relations functions. They're our *first-ever* class of interns here in Arlington (thanks for being our guinea pigs y'all), and we can't wait to see what they'll accomplish in the years ahead!

Hometown conferences hit different. I'm excited to see many familiar faces and unveil our new AV booth next week at the Space and Missile Defense Symposium. Our #AllDomainDominance will be on full display. Visit me at Booth 111!  #SMD2025 

The next chapter of Mars exploration is taking shape, and it builds on the legacy of our groundbreaking mission: Ingenuity.   “Skyfall is a human precursor mission—it will do killer science—but the raison d’être of Skyfall is, let’s make it easier and safer and faster for humans to get there,” AV's William Pomerantz told Payload.   Read more of Payload's take on Skyfall—the bold potential mission concept for Mars developed by AV in collaboration with NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory: https://lnkd.in/e4ZezuzD

We were honored to host Rep. Jake Ellzey on a recent visit to our Southern California manufacturing facilities. This Navy fighter pilot understands the importance of unmanned and manned systems working together to save American and allied lives. We look forward to a continued partnership to ensure we are meeting our military's needs with speed and scale.

We applaud the Administration's efforts to drive adoption of AI within the United States Department of Defense to transform support for the warfighter. Secure and reliable AI is a foundational requirement for the future of defense - and AV stands ready to invest, innovate, and integrate AI into our industry leading autonomous systems and c-UAS capabilities. https://loom.ly/E_JZlTc

Go inside our newest Maryland manufacturing facility on a tour with Gov. Wes Moore. See where we’re building defense technologies to track hypersonic weapon systems and counter-UAS capabilities to disrupt drones that threaten our airspace–supporting critical national security missions to keep you and your family safe.
