Kratos Defense and Security Solutions Tech Stack
Defense contractor building unmanned systems, hypersonics, and satellite communications
Kratos manufactures hardware and systems across unmanned platforms, hypersonics, satellite communications, and electronic warfare for U.S. and allied defense. The tech stack reflects a hardware-first organization: FPGA, ASIC, Verilog, VHDL, MATLAB dominate alongside CAD tools (AutoCAD, Siemens NX, PTC Creo) and simulation (ANSYS CFX, Fluent). Adopting Project Server and Costpoint signals a shift toward stricter program management and cost tracking—typical of defense contractors scaling compliance-heavy operations. Engineering dominance in hiring (191 of 326 roles) aligns with active design and development work on frequency converters, SATCOM ground systems, and mechanical shelters.
