AeroVironment, Inc., a Virginia-based company, will soon be testing advanced missile defense and electro-optical/infrared sensor systems at Redstone Arsenal. The development follows the corporation securing a $97.4 million contract under the U.S. Army’s Aviation and Missile Technology Consortium.

The 25,000 square foot Missile System Integrated Lab facility is a $16.5 investment in Huntsville for Lockheed Martin. The company is adding 200 additional jobs to its North Alabama workforce this year.
