The Project Talon portfolio powers a connected ecosystem of modular, mission-ready aircraft that turn data into real-time decisions, faster, smarter and safer. Speed and precision are non-negotiable.
Here's how we're accelerating autonomy: https://t.co/ZtlzBmYLys
Did you know that the Ares 1-X is the fourth tallest rocket to fly? Even though it was only a test vehicle and never reached orbit, it beats out launchers like New Glenn and SLS.
@RimofthePacific 2026, the world's largest international maritime exercise, brought together allies and partners from across the Indo-Pacific. Aboard USCGC Kimball, V-BAT flew alongside the @USCG and @coastguardph in a joint search and rescue exercise.
V-BAT located and tracked two simulated stranded vessels, guiding rescue crews to the scene. In transit, V-BAT also extended the crew's awareness by scanning for vessels of interest ahead of the strike group.
Autonomy for the world. The greatest victory requires no war.

Sometimes you need a human standing next to Starship just to remind your brain how absurdly massive this thing actually is
A flying skyscraper made of stainless steel, designed to land itself and carry humans to another planet
Absolutely insane that this is real
X-BAT + AVEN®: extending aerospace history
In modern warfare, runways are increasingly vulnerable. X-BAT, the world’s first AI-piloted VTOL fighter jet, is built to launch and land without one.
@GE_Aerospace's AVEN®, a flight-proven thrust-vectoring nozzle, is key to X-BAT’s vertical flight. By adapting established technology instead of starting from scratch, our teams are reengineering AVEN for a new mission while accelerating X-BAT’s development and reducing technical risk.

Sorry, but the Moon will be industrialized. We will mine it. We will establish bases, manufacturing, and scientific outposts on it.
This is inevitable.
