\nThe projected growth at Vision Aerial is directly aligned with Mobix Labs\u2019 long-standing M&A strategy. Mobix Labs has consistently pursued strategic acquisitions as a core component of its growth plan, targeting differentiated technology businesses with established customers, expanding end markets and the potential to contribute meaningful growth to the broader Mobix platform.<\/p>\n
Accelerating Growth: 46% in 2026, 93% in 2027<\/b><\/p>\n
\nRevenue is projected to increase approximately 46% in 2026, followed by approximately 93% additional growth in 2027, based on current Vision Aerial management estimates. On that trajectory, Vision Aerial\u2019s projected 2027 revenue would approach three times its 2025 revenue. (See \u201cAbout Vision Aerial\u2019s Growth Projections\u201d below.)<\/p>\n
\nVision Aerial management expects its projected growth to be supported by the commercial rollout of the new Vulcan drone family<\/a> and increasing demand across government, infrastructure, energy, public-safety and national-security markets for secure, American-built unmanned aircraft systems.<\/p>\n \nMobix Labs believes Vision Aerial reflects the type of acquisition opportunity central to its broader M&A strategy: differentiated technology, established customers, expanding end markets and significant growth potential following completion of the transaction.<\/p>\n Serving the U.S. Navy, L3Harris and Critical Infrastructure Markets<\/b><\/p>\n \nVision Aerial designs, manufactures and supports American-built unmanned aircraft systems from its headquarters in Bozeman, Montana. Its customer base includes the U.S. Navy, the USDA Forest Service, L3Harris and major energy and utility operators, supporting professional applications across government research, public safety, infrastructure inspection, mapping, energy, environmental operations and national defense.<\/p>\n \nMobix Labs believes Vision Aerial\u2019s established government and industrial relationships provide a strong foundation for its next stage of growth.<\/p>\n U.S. Policy Increasingly Favors American-Manufactured Drones<\/b><\/p>\n \nFederal policy is increasingly prioritizing secure, domestically manufactured unmanned aircraft systems. In June 2025, a White House Executive Order<\/a> directed federal agencies to prioritize U.S.-manufactured unmanned aircraft systems over foreign-manufactured systems to the maximum extent permitted by law and directed the Department of Defense to prioritize compliant drones manufactured by U.S. companies to the maximum extent practicable.<\/p>\n \nVision Aerial has designed, manufactured and supported its aircraft in the United States since its founding in 2013. Mobix Labs believes this domestic manufacturing base, together with Vision Aerial\u2019s existing government and industrial customer relationships and NDAA-compliant aircraft, positions the company to participate in increasing demand for secure, American-manufactured drone systems.<\/p>\n A New Generation of American-Built Drones Enters the Market<\/b><\/p>\n \nVision Aerial is advancing the commercial rollout of Vulcan, its new family of American-built industrial unmanned aircraft systems designed for demanding energy, infrastructure, government, public-safety and national-security missions.<\/p>\n \nThe Vulcan family includes two NDAA-compliant aircraft built on a common architecture. The medium-lift Vulcan SX is designed to carry payloads of up to 3 kilograms with flight times of up to 65 minutes and is progressing through production. The heavy-lift Vulcan YX is designed to carry payloads of up to 10 kilograms with flight times of up to 60 minutes and is available for preorder.<\/p>\n \nThe Vulcan family is designed to expand the range of professional missions Vision Aerial can support, including advanced sensor integrations and mission-specific configurations across infrastructure, energy and industrial markets.<\/p>\n Built for Mission-Critical Operations<\/b><\/p>\n \nThe Vulcan platform combines professional payload capacity and extended flight endurance with onboard edge computing, radar-based terrain following, collision avoidance, integrated RTK GNSS and hot-swappable smart batteries. Vulcan SX folds into a rugged, shoulder-portable case and is designed to move from case-open to airborne in minutes. Over-the-air software updates are designed to enable new capabilities to be deployed to aircraft already operating in the field. Every Vulcan aircraft includes Vision Aerial\u2019s Flight Deck v4 mission-planning software without subscription fees.<\/p>\n \n\u201cWe are entering the next phase of Vision Aerial with a stronger aircraft family and a broader range of missions we can support,\u201d said Shawn Roberts, President of Vision Aerial. \u201cThe market is looking for capable, secure and American-built drone systems that carry professional sensors without compromising useful flight time. Vulcan was built for that requirement, and the reaction from operators gives us confidence in the opportunity ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n M&A Strategy Designed to Drive Growth<\/b><\/p>\n \n\u201cVision Aerial is exactly the kind of business our M&A strategy is designed to bring into Mobix Labs: American-built technology, established government and industrial customers, expanding end markets and significant growth potential,\u201d said Phil Sansone, Chief Executive Officer of Mobix Labs.<\/p>\n \n\u201cWe have consistently used strategic M&A to expand the scale, capabilities and markets of Mobix Labs,\u201d Sansone continued. \u201cVision Aerial\u2019s projected growth, customer base and American-built drone platform are directly aligned with that strategy, and we believe the proposed acquisition can become an important growth engine within the broader national-security technology platform we are building.\u201d<\/p>\n Expanding Mobix Labs\u2019 National-Security Technology Platform<\/b><\/p>\n \nMobix Labs announced on July 24, 2026<\/a> that it had signed a definitive agreement to acquire Vision Aerial. The proposed acquisition is intended to expand Mobix Labs\u2019 national-security technology platform into American-built drones and autonomous systems, complementing the Company\u2019s existing electronics, connectivity, RF and sensing technologies serving aerospace, defense and other high-reliability markets.<\/p>\n \nThe transaction is expected to close in the fourth calendar quarter of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions, including approval by Mobix Labs stockholders of the issuance of shares in the transaction. The acquisition has not yet closed, and Vision Aerial remains a separate company pending completion of the transaction.<\/p>\n About Vision Aerial\u2019s Growth Projections<\/b><\/p>\n \nThe revenue projections contained in this release are Vision Aerial management estimates prepared on a standalone basis.
