We believe that Kratos is known as the innovative disruptive change agent in the industry, a company that is an expert in designing hardware products and systems up front for successful rapid, large quantity, low cost future manufacturing, which is a value add competitive differentiator for our large traditional prime system integrator partners and also to our government and commercial customers. At Kratos, we strive to deliver more for less to our customers and partners. Kratos intends to pursue program and contract opportunities as the prime or lead contractor when we believe our probability of win is high and any investment required by Kratos is within our capital resource comfort level. We intend to partner and team with a large, traditional system integrator when our assessment of probability of win is greater or required investment is beyond Kratos comfort level. Kratos’ primary business areas include, virtualized ground systems for satellites and space vehicles, including software for command and& control (C2) and telemetry, tracking and control (TT&C), space domain awareness, jet powered unmanned aerial drone systems, hypersonic vehicles and rocket systems, propulsion systems for drones, missiles, loitering munitions, supersonic systems, space craft and launch systems, command, control, communication, computing, combat, intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance (C5ISR) and microwave electronic products for missile, radar, air defense, missile defense, space, satellite, counter unmanned aircraft systems (CUAS), directed energy, communication and other systems, and virtual and& augmented reality training systems for the warfighter. We believe that there is a generational recapitalization of weapon systems and related defense industrial bases occurring globally, including with the United States and its allies,
