AEVEX Corp. and Divergent partner on autonomous UAS platform

AEVEX Corp. and Divergent Technologies have entered a strategic collaboration to develop a next-generation autonomous unmanned aircraft system (UAS) platform. The partnership aims to combine AEVEX’s experience in delivering operationally fielded unmanned systems with Divergent’s advanced manufacturing capabilities to increase production speed and scalability.

The collaboration will utilize Divergent’s digital-first manufacturing platform, known as the Divergent Adaptive Production System (DAPS). This system integrates AI-enabled design optimization, additive manufacturing, robotic assembly, and model-driven certification. By focusing on adaptive airframe architectures and digitally defined manufacturing processes, the companies intend to compress development timelines, reduce part counts, and enhance responsiveness to emerging mission requirements.
