BlueHalo’s expansion allows for greater collabora6on and support of Fort Sill’s C-UAS and air defense training programs

BlueHalo expands its footprint to Lawton, Oklahoma’s Fires InnovaNon Science and Technology Accelerator (FISTA) InnovaNon Park—bringing more highly-skilled, high-wage jobs to the region to tackle our NaNon’s criNcal security missions. The new Oklahoma presence will allow BlueHalo to beWer serve its U.S. Army customers at Fort Sill, working shoulder-to-shoulder to develop and deliver innovaNve, next-generaNon Counter-Uncrewed Aerial System (C-UAS) soluNons and air defense training technologies.

“The evolving threats that our warfighters face every day on the baWlefield require us to conNnually innovate to develop the technologies that will prepare them for mission success and bring them home safely,” said Jimmy Jenkins, President of BlueHalo’s Armed Forces PorIolio and former U.S. Army Air
Defender.

“Fort Sill is home to our NaNon’s very best weapons system training and development. That’s why we’re expanding our presence and increasing our investment here in Oklahoma–to support this shared mission and deliver soldier-focused innovaNon from training through deployment.”

BlueHalo leadership celebrated the expansion today with a ribbon-cu_ng ceremony alongside FISTA, the U.S. Army, City of Lawton, and community leaders.

“We are thrilled to have BlueHalo join the FISTA InnovaNon Park and look forward to the strong partnership and high-quality jobs they will bring to the Lawton/Fort Sill economy,” said Dr. Krista Ratliff, President & CEO of FISTA.

“Together, we can develop transformaNve soluNons and help Oklahoma solidify its place as a naNonal leader in innovaNve technologies.”

At its new Lawton locaNon, BlueHalo will conNnue to expand soluNon offerings and provide support for its Virtual Systems Trainer (VST), five of which are used to train Stringer teams at Fort Sill’s Air Defense ArNllery School. The VST is the first and only fielded virtual reality-based weapons training device that supports portable or fixed training sites for weapons systems training. The VST suite of products includes the SNnger, SNnger-Lite, and Javelin trainers. Fort Sill is also home to BlueHalo’s Integrated Moving Target Simulator (IMTS)–a 360-degree immersive training dome with realisNc baWlefield environment, varying terrains, and detailed ager-acNon reviews.

BlueHalo is the leading provider of innovaNve, layered C-UAS soluNons for naNonal defense customers. The company’s Titan and Titan-SV systems offer autonomous radio-frequency (RF) detecNon and precision tracking of small UAS. Titan can detect, track, and force drones to safely land without disrupNng nearby communicaNons or electronics. BlueHalo’s LOCUST Laser Weapon System combines precision opNcal and laser hardware with advanced sogware, arNficial intelligence, and processing. It has been successfully delivered and operaNonally deployed to idenNfy, track, and engage a wide variety of targets with its hardkill High Energy Laser. The FE-1 Next-Gen Missile rounds out BlueHalo’s porkolio of layered C-UAS air defense technologies to deliver best-in-class, cost-effecNve, control-point soluNons to warfighters.

With the opening of the new office, BlueHalo now has a physical presence in twelve states.

BlueHalo is purpose-built to provide industry-leading capabiliNes in the areas of Space, C-UAS and Autonomous Systems, Electronic Warfare & Cyber, and AI/ML. The company develops and brings to market next-generaNon capabiliNes to support customers’ criNcal missions and naNonal security. Visit: bluehalo.com
