Safran Defense & Space, Inc. Launches Ambitious US Growth Strategy

Safran Defense & Space, Inc. (Safran DSI), the newly established U.S. subsidiary of global aerospace leader Safran, has launched a strategic initiative to enhance its support for the U.S. defense and space sectors. This includes major investments in U.S. manufacturing in several states for diverse technology capabilities. With an emphasis on solutions to next generation challenges such as satellite propulsion and communication, geospatial artificial intelligence, and GPS-denied navigation, Safran DSI is committed to safeguarding national sovereignty, protecting armed forces, and space operations preparedness.

Safran DSI is expanding its digital design, model-based systems engineering (MBSE), Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA), and advanced manufacturing capabilities with significant growth at its facility for electro-optics and infrared systems in Bedford, N.H., its future Greenfield facility for small satellite propulsion in Denver, Colorado, and at the Safran Federal Systems facility for Assured Positioning, Navigation & Timing (PNT) in Rochester, N.Y. These investments, along with its testing and telemetry operations in Norcross, Georgia, will boost Safran DSI’s production capacity and strengthen domestic supply chains.

"By leveraging Safran's globally proven expertise and investing in U.S. engineering and product development, Safran DSI can offer tailored solutions today for fast evolving challenges across air, land, sea and space domains," said Joe Bogosian, president and CEO of Safran DSI. "In doing so, we are proud to support local communities through the creation of high-technology jobs and contribute to impactful economic development.”

With its new headquarters soon to open in Arlington, Va., Safran DSI is strategically positioned to strengthen partnerships with key US defense entities, both in government and industry, and enhance collaboration and support for critical national security programs.
