Kratos Breaks Ground on New AN/SPY-1 Radar and Helios Hypersonics Testing Facilities in Indiana
Kratos broke ground on two new facilities in Odon, Indiana: the AN/SPY-1 Indiana Radar Integration Complex and the HELIOS Arc Jet & Laser Facility. The $35 million effort is funded through the Department of War's IBAS program with cost-sharing from Kratos, and the SPY-1 complex spans roughly 183,000 square feet for radar repair, testing, and sustainment. Helios combines a 20-25 MW arc jet with a 200-kW fiber laser to test thermal protection materials for hypersonic vehicles and advance directed-energy capabilities.
