Welcome to the Greater Seattle region, @shieldaitech!

[Shield AI @shieldaitech]

X-BAT is putting down roots in two of America’s strongest aerospace regions.

X-Forge 2 in Newton, Kansas, will be X-BAT’s flight test and sustainment home. X-Forge 3 in Des Moines, WA will be our first production site in the Puget Sound region, with plans to expand our footprint there as X-BAT production grows.

Together, the Newton and Puget Sound regions are projected to support close to 10,000 jobs by the early 2030s and add nearly $80 billion to their economies through 2046.

Built in Washington. Flown and sustained in Kansas.

Autonomy for the world. The greatest victory requires no war.
