The company was also a leader in hybrid powertrain development for the Army and still builds vehicular electric power systems that allow a medium-sized truck to generate enough power for a small street of houses. As the Army’s energy requirements develop, DRS advances solutions right along with them. The staying power comes from a constant state of evolution grounded in longevity and workforce stability. Products, technology, and business policies all advance to meet the changing demands of the business base – the company can turn on a dime to modernize and enhance products whenever and wherever needed. Agility and adaptability keep DRS at the forefront of electronics readiness for ultimate warfighter support.
What’s Ahead A move to new facilities in Redstone Gateway gave DRS Huntsville increased capability with state-of-the-art labs, vehicle research and integration bays, prototype production facilities, and unique collaboration spaces for teams to focus on new product development or time-sensitive tasks. With ability to accommodate all phases of product life cycles, DRS Huntsville can go from concept to design all the way through full-rate production. While DRS Technologies is a large global company, the Huntsville operation alone is large enough to carry extensive capability, but small enough to maintain flexibility in supporting the ever-changing demands of the battlespace. By building on the successful technology applications of the past, this corporate division can move its products into the next phase with innovations critical to Huntsville and the nation’s future.
