Big news for Indiana's defense tech ecosystem!

Kratos Defense and Security Solutions is bringing its new hypersonic test facility to WESTGATE@CRANE TECHNOLOGY PARK. The facility will serve as a key resource for the corridor of defense innovation that continues to grow around Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division.

Project Helios is designed to move advanced hypersonic materials from research to real-world readiness at a scale and speed the nation needs. Having that capability anchored at WestGate is a meaningful win for the region and for U.S. defense modernization.

We are thrilled to see this one-of-a-kind capability take root here.
