Kratos Defense & Security Solutions Expands Bristow, Oklahoma, Manufacturing Operations

06/18/2025
Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc., a technology company in the defense, national security and global markets, plans to expand its operations in Bristow, Oklahoma. The project is expected to create 60 jobs.

The investment will include an additional 50,000 square feet at the company' s existing manufacturing facility which produces its GEK (GE Aerospace-Kratos) family of turbojet engines.

“Kratos is truly honored to expand our presence in Oklahoma with this new, state-of-the-art propulsion production facility in Bristow,” said Eric DeMarco. “This new Kratos investment reflects our continued commitment to delivering high-performance, affordable jet engine technology to support the Department of Defense and our allies and answers the rising demand for propulsion systems for cruise missiles and CCA-type aircraft, while being targeted and optimized for cost reduction. The Bristow facility will play a critical role in accelerating production of the GEK family of engines, including the GEK800, and strengthening America’s industrial base in this decisive era. We thank Governor Stitt and the State of Oklahoma for their partnership in helping us build the future of high-performance propulsion right here in the heartland.”

Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. is a technology, products, system and software company addressing the defense, national security, and commercial markets.

“This is a big win for American workers, for our military, and for every Oklahoman who believes in freedom, innovation and strength,” noted Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt. “Kratos could’ve gone anywhere in the world, but they choose to continue investing in Oklahoma because it is the best place to build, grow and do business. Oklahoma is proud to be a hub for national defense that is leading the way in rebuilding America’s industrial base and powering the technologies that keep our country safe.”
