Redwire has retired the Edge Autonomy brand and reorganized its operations into two core business segments as the company looks to sharpen its positioning across space and defense technology markets.
The Florida-based company said Tuesday that uncrewed aerial systems and related defense technologies previously operating under the Edge Autonomy name will now be fully integrated under the Redwire brand. The move follows Redwire’s acquisition of Edge Autonomy in June 2025 and reflects the company’s effort to unify its portfolio under a single identity.
How Is Redwire Restructuring Its Business?
Under the new organizational model, Redwire will operate through two segments: space and defense tech.
Led by Mike Gold, who was appointed president of civil and international space in April 2025, the space segment will focus on spacecraft platforms, large-scale space infrastructure and microgravity capabilities supporting civil, national security and commercial missions. Redwire’s biotechnology venture, SpaceMD, will also operate within this segment.
The defense tech segment, headed by former Edge Autonomy CEO Steve Adlich, will concentrate on autonomous systems, optical sensors and radio frequency payloads that support intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions for U.S. and allied forces across multiple domains.
What Does the Change Mean for Edge Autonomy?
Sunsetting the Edge Autonomy brand marks the completion of Redwire’s integration of the business following a $925 million cash-and-stock transaction. That deal expanded Redwire’s footprint into the uncrewed airborne systems market and added significant manufacturing capacity and technical talent across the U.S. and Europe.
Redwire Chairman and CEO Peter Cannito said the realignment is designed to improve operational execution and position the company for growth in key markets.
