The story

Kratos Defense & Security Solutions was founded as Wireless Facilities Incorporated (WFI), a company whose primary market was the building and support of the telecommunications infrastructure and networks. In 2004, the company primarily sold its services to the US Government, mostly the U.S. Department of Defense.

From 2004 to 2009, the company acquired several companies in the federal services business. Acquisitions included several small public safety firms and mid-sized professional services firms such as:

High Technology Solutions (HTS), communications systems engineering and operational network outsourcing.

Madison Research (MRD): engineering and information technology services.

Haverstick Consulting (Haverstick): engineering and program management, and government outsourcing

SYS Technologies (SYS): information technology products (dopplerVUE and NeuralStar), services and wireless communication systems for the United States Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security and various industrial customers.

Digital Fusion, Inc (DFI)

In September 2007, the company's name was changed to Kratos Defense & Security Solutions.

Merger with Integral Systems

On July 27, 2011, Integral Systems merged with Kratos. Integral Systems provided services regarding the handling of data from space and terrestrial-based platforms into networks for military, government, and commercial satellite and aerospace customers.

Integral Systems employed about 800 people in 14 locations, and had 6 subsidiaries:

Integral Systems, Inc.: central holding company.

Integral Systems Europe: European branch.

Lumistar: telemetry products for PCI, VME, cPCI, and ISA computer buses.

Newpoint Technologies: communications infrastructure management.

RT Logic: signal processing systems for the space and aerospace communications industry.

SAT Corporation: SAT Corporation bought CVG, Inc. and changed its name to SATCOM Solutions. Less than a year later, Kratos bought Integral Systems, and changed SATCOM Solutions back to CVG, Inc.

CVG, Inc.: satellite-based communication services. Its subsidiaries include Avtec Systems, Inc. and Sophia Wireless.

In February 2019, Kratos purchased Florida Turbine Technologies.

Technical Directions Inc. (TDI)

On February 24, 2020, Kratos bought small turbojet manufacturer, Technical Directions Inc. (TDI), based in Detroit, Michigan. Their smallest TDI-J45 powered the AFRL LOCAAS program of Lockheed Martin, a late 1990s endeavor to build a cheap anti-tank missile, which was since cancelled. It was selected by starting an engine using a leaf blower: TDI achieved ignition at 5% engine speed. TDI engines typically operate at 200–534 kn (370–989 km/h) and at altitudes of 20,000-30,000 ft; they run the fuel through the mechanical bearings to avoid oil lubrication.

The TDI-J85 powers the US AFRL’s Gray Wolf, a low-cost cruise missile built by Northrop Grumman with a range of at least 250 nm (463 km).

In March 2020, the Gray Wolf was tested with high altitude operation and multiple inflight engine starts.

The Gray Wolf may be used in a networked swarm, like the AFRL Golden Horde initiative to be demonstrated in late 2020 with a modified Small Diameter Bomb I and a modified Miniature Air-Launched Decoy, coordinated against a simulated target in a fall 2021 demonstration.

Kratos is expected in 2026 to open a new jet engine production line in Bristow, Oklahoma, initially creating 60 jobs.

Risk factors and legal proceedings

The risks Kratos Defense & Security Solutions names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Feb 23, 2026: 67 risks under these headings, as written.16

  • Risks Related to our Business
  • Risks Related to our Operations
  • Risks Related to our International Operations
  • Risks Related to our Indebtedness
  • Risks Related to our Intellectual Property
  • Risks Related to Regulatory, Environmental and Legal Issues
  • Risks Related to Our Common Stock
  • Risks Related to Our Business
  • Competitive dynamics within our markets may affect our ability to win new contracts and result in reduced revenues, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and/or cash flows.
  • The U.S. Government provides a significant portion of our revenue, and our business could be adversely affected by changes in the fiscal and other policies of the U.S. Government and other governmental entities.
  • Significant delays or reductions in appropriations for our programs and U.S. Government funding more broadly may negatively impact our business and programs and could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and/or cash flows.
  • If we fail to establish and maintain important relationships with government agencies and prime contractors, our ability to successfully maintain and develop new business may be adversely affected.
The other 63 risks
  • The loss or delay of one or more of our largest customers, programs, or applications could adversely affect our results of operations.
  • Many of our contracts contain performance obligations that require innovative design capabilities, are technologically complex, require state-of-the-art manufacturing expertise, or are dependent upon factors not wholly within our control. Failure to meet these obligations could adversely affect our profitability and future prospects. Early termination of client contracts, pauses or stop work orders by our customers, or contract penalties could adversely affect our results of operations.
  • If our subcontractors or suppliers fail to perform their contractual obligations, our performance and reputation as a contractor and our ability to obtain future business could suffer.
  • Our earnings and profitability depend, in part, on subcontractor and supplier performance and product availability.
  • We face intense competition from many competitors that have greater resources than we do, which could result in price reductions, reduced profitability or loss of market share.
  • Our business is dependent upon our ability to keep pace with the latest technological changes.
  • If the UAS and UGS markets do not experience significant growth, if we cannot expand our customer base or if our products do not achieve broad acceptance, or if the products we have developed or will develop do not become programs of record, then we may not be able to achieve our anticipated level of growth.
  • Loss of our GSA contracts or GWACs could impair our ability to attract new business.
  • Government contracts differ materially from standard commercial contracts, involve competitive bidding and may be subject to cancellation or delay without penalty.
  • We may not receive the full amounts estimated under the contracts in our backlog, which could reduce our revenue in future periods below the levels anticipated. This makes backlog an uncertain indicator of future operating results.
  • A preference for minority-owned, small and small disadvantaged businesses could impact our ability to be a prime contractor and limit our opportunity to work as a subcontractor on certain governmental procurements.
  • U.S. Government in-sourcing could result in loss of business opportunities and personnel.
  • Our business could be negatively impacted by cyber and other security threats or disruptions.
  • If we experience systems or service failure, our reputation could be harmed and our customers could assert claims against us for damages or refunds.
  • Our products are complex and could have unknown defects or errors, which may increase our costs, harm our reputation with customers, give rise to costly litigation, or divert our resources from other purposes.
  • Due to the volatile and flammable nature of certain components of our products and equipment, fires or explosions may
  • disrupt our business or cause significant injuries, which could adversely affect our financial results.
  • Our financial results may vary significantly from quarter to quarter.
  • Our margins and operating results may suffer if we experience unfavorable changes in the proportion of cost-plus-fee or fixed‑price contracts in our total contract mix.
  • Cost overruns on our contracts could subject us to losses, decrease our operating margins and adversely affect our future business.
  • Our cash flow and profitability could be reduced if expenditures are incurred prior to the final receipt of a contract.
  • If we fail to respond to commercial industry cycles in terms of our cost structure, manufacturing capacity, and/or personnel needs, our business could be seriously harmed.
  • We face significant risks in the management of our inventory, and failure to effectively manage our inventory levels may result in product recalls or supply imbalances that could harm our business.
  • We have incurred and may continue to incur goodwill impairment charges in our reporting entities, which could harm our profitability.
  • Failure to properly manage projects may result in additional costs or claims.
  • We use estimates when accounting for contracts, and any changes in such estimates could have an adverse effect on our profitability and our overall financial performance.
  • Our ability to utilize our net operating loss carryforwards and certain other tax attributes may be limited. We may be required to record valuation allowances on our net operating loss carryforwards in future periods which could adversely impact our profitability and financial condition.
  • We expect to incur substantial research and development costs and devote significant resources to identifying and developing new products and services, which could significantly reduce our profitability and may never result in revenue to us.
  • Risks Related to Our Operations
  • Our operations expose us to risks associated with pandemics, epidemics or other public health emergencies.
  • We may need additional capital to fund the growth of our business, and financing may not be available on favorable terms or at all.
  • Our cash may be subject to a risk of loss and we may be exposed to fluctuations in the market values of our portfolio
  • investments and in interest rates.
  • Past acquisitions and future acquisitions could prove difficult to integrate, disrupt our business, dilute stockholder value and strain our resources.

  • If we are unable to manage our growth, our business and financial results could suffer.
  • We may need to invest in new information technology systems and infrastructure to scale our operations.
  • The loss of any member of our senior management could impair our relationships with U.S. Government customers and disrupt the management of our business.
  • If we fail to attract and retain skilled employees or employees with the necessary National Security clearances, we might not be able to perform under our contracts or win new business.
  • We are subject to the requirements of the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual for our facility security clearance, which is a prerequisite to our ability to perform on classified contracts for the U.S. Government.
  • We are subject to the DoW CMMC requirement issued by the Pentagon which may limit our ability to bid and win projects. The cost for the DoW CMMC requirement may be significant.
  • Cybersecurity breaches or disruptions of our information technology systems could negatively impact our operations.
  • Our operations expose us to the risk of material environmental liabilities.
  • Risks Related to Our International Operations
  • Revenues derived from our international business could be subject to global economic downturn and hardship.
  • Changes in foreign tax laws and regulations could expose us to additional tax liabilities and could adversely affect our financial results.
  • Our international business exposes us to additional risks.
  • Risks Related to Our Indebtedness
  • We and our subsidiaries may incur long-term indebtedness, which may introduce risks associated with our leverage, including our ability to service our indebtedness.
  • Changes in our credit metrics or macroeconomic conditions may affect our liquidity, increasing borrowing costs and limiting our financing options.
  • A portion of our business is conducted through foreign subsidiaries, and the failure to generate sufficient cash flow from these subsidiaries, or otherwise repatriate or receive cash from these subsidiaries, could result in our inability to repay our indebtedness.
  • The agreements governing our debt impose significant operating and financial restrictions on us and our subsidiaries that may prevent us and our subsidiaries from pursuing certain business opportunities and restrict our ability to operate our business.
  • Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property
  • We may be unable to protect our intellectual property rights.
  • Disclosure of trade secrets could cause harm to our business.
  • We may be harmed by intellectual property infringement claims.

  • Our employees or others acting on our behalf may engage in misconduct or other improper activities, which could cause us to lose contracts or cause us to incur costs.
  • We are subject to environmental laws and potential exposure to environmental liabilities. This may affect our ability to develop, sell or rent our property or to borrow money where such property is required to be used as collateral.
  • The increasing focus on environmental sustainability and social initiatives could increase our costs, harm our reputation and adversely impact our financial results.
  • Regulations related to “conflict minerals” may cause us to incur additional expenses and could limit the supply and increase the cost of certain metals used in manufacturing our products.
  • Natural disasters or severe weather conditions could disrupt our business and result in loss of revenue or higher expenses.
  • Some of our contracts with the U.S. Government are classified, which may limit investor insight into portions of our business.
  • We do not expect to pay any cash dividends or buyback any Kratos stock for the foreseeable future.
  • Certain provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and third amended and restated bylaws, and of Delaware law, may prevent or delay an acquisition of our Company, which could decrease the trading price of our common stock.
  • General Risk Factors
  • The market price of our common stock is volatile.
