We build in Europe, with European suppliers.
Series production runs in manufacturing cells that are designed to be duplicated rather than expanded. A cell is a defined set of equipment, work steps and test procedures that can be set up at a second site, or moved, without redesigning the product. That is how output scales when demand moves faster than factories.
Fixed and mobile cells.
Fixed cells carry the volume lines. Mobile cells are containerised and set up close to the user, which shortens the supply route and keeps production running when transport is the bottleneck.
European supply chain.
Structure, drives, electronics and optics are sourced inside Europe. Quality management is being built to ISO 9001.
Design to cost is a requirement, not a result.
Unit cost is a design parameter from the first drawing. An interceptor that costs as much as the target it destroys is not a defence, it is an exchange, and that is the calculation the whole portfolio is built around.
