Assembling the world’s most advanced air defense missile requires technological innovation, especially when annual production is set to increase to 500 by 2024. And since failure is not an option, the missiles must undergo rigorous inspection processes before deployment. So how will one of the United States’ largest defense contractors meet demand? Using robots.
And, when aerospace assemblers need robots, they often turn to Aerobotix. Headquartered in Huntsville, AL, Aerobotix develops robotic manufacturing systems for the aerospace and defense industries.
