Echodyne Opens New Manufacturing Facility to Meet Surging Global Demand for Advanced MESA Radar

Echodyne announced the opening of a new advanced radar manufacturing facility in Washington State, expanding its manufacturing capacity to meet growing demand from U.S. and allied customers.

The new 86,350-square-foot facility is a step in readying supply for multiple, large, global markets. The company has begun end-to-end manufacturing operations which will eventually be able to produce more than 30,000 radars annually.

Over the coming months, Echodyne will transition all manufacturing operations from its headquarters to the new site, creating a dedicated manufacturing and operations hub capable of supporting sustained production growth across its radar portfolio. The company’s $40 million investment in a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility is complemented by more than 100 new jobs and up to 200 as the facility reaches full production capacity. 

“Our global customer base is demanding more radar to be delivered as fast as possible,” said Eben Frankenberg, CEO, Echodyne. “Drones are driving significant change in both enabling a drone economy and in defending against nefarious drone use. While radar performance will always be the dominant consideration, product availability both now and in a predictable and consistent manner over time is quickly becoming a requirement for any global supplier. The only way to defend against mass is with mass. That requires not just high-performance economical radars, but the ability to manufacture them at scale.”

The new facility provides approximately 74,350 square feet of manufacturing space and 12,000 square feet of warehousing, enabling production to flex across multiple radar product lines while supporting future product introductions.
