Steve Fendley, President of Kratos
Unmanned Systems Division, said, “What Kratos TDI develops
and produces represents a key enabler for producing small cruise
missile and loitering munitions in mass. The TDI approach is
laser-focused on manufacturability for scale with an incredibly
high performance-to-cost ratio. These characteristics mirror the

been unachievable from U.S. manufacturers in recent years. We’re
very proud of the products we’ve developed and proud to be growing

engineering, and program management. Our thanks to Rep. McClain for
visiting.”

great to visit TDI and see how the company applies commercial
innovation and technology to develop their U.S.-made and
-manufactured small, low-cost engines that will be vital for our
warfighters. The Ninth District of Michigan is proud to have a
company like TDI call it home and utilize our deep expertise in
automotive industry technology and transfer it to aerospace and
defense.”

technologies for military applications in Michigan since
