Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. engages in the provision of mission critical products, services and solutions for United States national security priorities. It operates through the Kratos Government Solutions (KGS) and Unmanned Systems (US) segments. The KGS segment consists of an aggregation of KGS operating segments, including microwave electronic products, space, satellite and cyber, training solutions.

KTOS is well-positioned to benefit from DOD initiatives related to combat drones, with long-term growth potential in unmanned programs such as Valkyrie and Air Wolf. Despite flat guided unmanned revenue projections for 2023, the company has a large pipeline of opportunities and potential contributions from classified projects, making long-term growth prospects promising. I believe heightened geopolitical risk and tension of war are unspoken drivers for the DOD to quickly deploy these new technologies.
