Hadrian’s core technology platform, Opus, functions as the operating system for its automated factories. The platform integrates design-for-manufacturing, CAM automation, production workflow, quality control and workforce training into a single system. This allows the company to automate processes that traditionally depend heavily on experienced machinists and manual workflows.

The physical manufacturing layer combines best-in-class CNC machines with robotic loading, automated material handling and storage systems. Hadrian reports a machine-to-operator ratio of approximately 10:1, compared with approximately 1:2 in traditional manufacturing environments. It also reports equipment uptime of approximately 75–80%, compared with around 30% in traditional aerospace shops.

Hadrian’s customer base includes SpaceX, Rocket Lab, Anduril, Astranis and Shield AI. Its most significant recent validation has come from Lockheed Martin. A December 2025 Memorandum of Understanding has since been formalised into a seven-year agreement to deploy a 24-machine Hadrian automated machining cell at Lockheed’s Missiles & Fire Control site in Grand Prairie, Texas. The cell will support programs including PAC-3 MSE, THAAD and PrSM, and is expected to be operational in early 2027. Hadrian also opened Factory 4 in Alabama in March 2026 under a $2.4 billion public-private partnership with the U.S. Navy for submarine components.

The company has demonstrated rapid revenue growth. Revenue increased from approximately $3 million in 2023 to approximately $30 million in 2024, roughly 10x growth. FY2025 revenue has not been publicly disclosed. Management projects revenue of $467 million in FY2026, rising to $3.15 billion by FY2029. These projections are management estimates and have not been independently verified.

The latest financing was a $1.37 billion Series D in August 2026 at a $7.87 billion valuation, bringing total funding to approximately $2 billion.

The Series D was co-led by WCM Investment Management, Washington Harbour Partners, Valor Equity Partners, 137 Ventures and Baillie Gifford, with J.P. Morgan’s Strategic Investment Group as anchor co-lead. Earlier backers include Founders Fund, Lux Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, Construct Capital, T. Rowe Price, Altimeter Capital, D1 Capital Partners, StepStone Group and 1789 Capital.
