Special Aerospace Services has rebranded as Aurex, uniting recent acquisitions under a single platform to deliver advanced space, missile defense and hypersonic technologies.
Backed by Godspeed Capital Management, Aurex employs over 250 people across Colorado, California and Huntsville, Alabama, and is approaching $100 million in annual revenue. The rebrand follows 18 months of growth through the acquisitions of Special Aerospace Services, Willbrook Solutions, Quintron Systems and Concordia Technologies.
“We are thrilled to be relaunching as Aurex, a leading provider of critical priorities for the growing demands of our core space and missile defense customers,” said Warren Kohm, CEO of Aurex. “The Aurex brand emphasizes our focus on innovation and the recent completion of a new state-of-the-art MISSION Center, a 44,000 square foot multi-use manufacturing and engineering facility in Huntsville, Alabama, where we are meeting the most complex and emerging national security challenges centered on Space Domain Awareness and Superiority.”
Aurex delivers field-proven systems and next-generation technologies across space and missile defense. Its offerings include space communications, hypersonic and missile defense solutions and precision manufacturing for government and commercial space clients. The company says its capabilities are designed for rapid deployment to meet modern warfare demands, including emerging priorities like the Golden Dome missile defense initiative.
“Aurex has established itself as an enhanced organization with the proven ability to deliver on the most complex and challenging problems our customers face in their missions to safeguard national security and advance the superior technological capabilities of the U.S. and its allies,” said Douglas T. Lake, Jr., founder and managing partner of Godspeed Capital. “The Aurex leadership team is leading the way in innovation, as exemplified by the completion of the new Huntsville facility, for our sophisticated space and missile defense customers by pushing the boundaries of what is considered possible.”
Aurex brings together aerospace veterans, missile defense experts, combat-tested operators and technologists who have supported hundreds of missions for the Defense Department, Missile Defense Agency, NASA and commercial space and defense partners. The team provides integrated capabilities in hypersonic systems, missile defense, orbital launch, secure communications, digital battlespace training, software development, modeling and simulation, precision hardware and resilient mission networks.
“We are thrilled to support the exceptional team at Aurex through this exciting rebrand, a testament to the successful integration of numerous companies into one unified strategic platform capable of supporting advanced mission solutions at scale,” said Nathaniel T.G. Fogg, partner of Godspeed Capital. “We’re supremely confident in the leadership team and look forward to continuing to support Aurex’s growth and impact in the market.”
