Radar-platform company Echodyne cut the ribbon on July 9 for its latest Woodinville-located manufacturing facility.
The new 86,350-square-foot center was built to meet the growing demand for drone-detection and airspace-monitoring systems. The new facility can support up to 200 jobs once it reaches its full production capacity. Echodyne plans to transition all manufacturing from its headquarters in Kirkland to its new facility in the coming months, according to a release.
The company originally used its technology to help drones detect objects and obstacles in flight but pivoted due to the ongoing war in Ukraine. Echodyne now focuses its tech on counter-drone security.
“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,” Eben Frankenberg, CEO of Echodyne, said in the release. “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.”
