Modern warfare and the technology behind it are evolving. Around the world, the skies are increasingly filled with small, agile, and intelligent systems — drones, missiles, and interceptors that demand lightweight, affordable, and highly efficient propulsion. The future of defense is fast, adaptable, and precise — and Georgia is positioning itself at the center of that transformation. 

When PBS Aerospace (PBS), a global leader in small turbojet engines, began searching for a location to build its first U.S. manufacturing facility, it didn’t look to the traditional defense hubs. Instead, it chose Roswell, Georgia — where research excellence at Georgia Tech, a ready supply of high-tech talent, and a business environment built for speed are converging to create a new aerospace manufacturing cluster.
