About AeroVironment

AeroVironment makes robotic systems that help soldiers stay safe. These tools include drones that fly and roll on land. They help teams see danger and respond from a distance.

AeroVironment's Technology Portfolio

  • Autonomous Systems: Uncrewed aircraft and robots for monitoring and defense; generated $1.36 billion in revenue for fiscal year 2026.
  • Precision Strike Systems: Portable loitering munitions, which are drones that circle an area before striking a target.
  • Space and Cyber: Satellite antennas and digital defense tools; generated $619 million in revenue for fiscal year 2026.
  • Uncrewed Ground Vehicles: Robots designed to handle explosives and hazardous materials in dangerous areas.

Acquisitions and New Inventions

  • Acquired BlueHalo on May 1, 2025, to add expertise in space, cyber, and directed energy, which uses lasers to hit targets.
  • Acquired ESAero during fiscal year 2026 to improve aerospace engineering and aircraft propulsion capabilities.
  • Launched the Mayhem 10 during fiscal year 2026, a multi-role drone that can deploy from air, ground, or sea.
  • Introduced the Red Dragon family of products, a precision-strike drone designed to operate in areas where GPS signals are blocked.

Why the Company Stands Out

AeroVironment holds 407 U.S. patents and operates an international manufacturing footprint to support global defense needs. Foreign customers and allied governments provided 28% of total revenue during fiscal year 2026.

Financial Data for 2026

  • Revenue reached $1.98 billion in fiscal year 2026, up 141% year-over-year.
  • Research and development spending was $128 million in fiscal year 2026, up 27% year-over-year.
  • Net loss was $265 million for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2026.
  • Funded backlog was $1.18 billion as of April 30, 2026.

AeroVironment's Path Forward

AeroVironment has evolved from a small drone specialist into a broad defense technology provider. Its expansion into space and cyber systems through acquisitions has diversified its role in modern military operations.
