Space Segment Business Strategy

Redwire’s Space segment focuses on delivering next-generation spacecraft, large space infrastructure, and microgravity capabilities to serve civil, national security, and commercial space customers globally. Redwire’s core space offerings are flight-proven and have supported hundreds of spacecraft, missions, and operations, including, but not limited to, the International Space Station (“ISS”), European Space Agency’s (“ESA”) Project for On-Board Autonomy (“PROBA”) missions, National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (“NASA”) Double Asteroid Redirection Test (“DART”) and Artemis I lunar mission, and Space Force’s GPS Satellite program.

Next-Generation Spacecraft

Redwire’s spacecraft portfolio features a lineup of five platforms - SabreSat, Phantom, Hammerhead, Thresher, and Mako - designed to operate across multiple orbits ranging from Very Low Earth Orbit (“VLEO”), Low Earth Orbit (“LEO”), Medium Earth Orbit (“MEO”), Geostationary Orbit (“GEO”) and beyond GEO (“X-GEO”). For VLEO, Redwire offers two spacecraft: U.S.-built SaberSat and the European-built Phantom spacecraft. Both VLEO spacecraft are designed to unlock capability in a less congested orbit where proximity to Earth provides imaging and low latency advantages. Redwire is the prime mission integrator on the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency’s (“DARPA”) Otter program in the U.S., which is leveraging the SabreSat platform to develop a revolutionary air-breathing satellite system and will demonstrate the use of novel electric propulsion in VLEO. Additionally, Redwire’s Phantom spacecraft is being used on ESA’s Skimsat VLEO program.

In LEO, Redwire offers its U.S.-built Thresher spacecraft. In MEO and GEO, Redwire offers its U.S.-built Mako spacecraft. Both platforms are designed for challenging missions that address dynamic space operations where maneuverability, precision accuracy, and autonomous operation are critical. Mako is designed for high precision rendezvous proximity operations (“RPO”), docking, and in-space refueling. It has the capability to support dynamic space operations and the adaptability to host a variety of mission payloads. Additionally, Mako serves space situational awareness and scientific missions at GEO and X-GEO orbits. Thresher is also highly maneuverable and is designed for rapid response, having demonstrated the capability to deliver within one year after contract award.

Redwire also provides the EU-based LEO Hammerhead, a small satellite platform which is capable of supporting payloads of up to 70 kg and targets spacecraft with a mass of less than 200 kg, making it compatible with typical shared launch opportunities and small satellite launchers. The Hammerhead platform is an evolution of the PROBA platform, which has accumulated extensive flight heritage of more than 50 years in orbit without failure on any of the launched satellites. We are leading small satellite pioneering research missions like PROBA-1 and PROBA-3, ESA’s small satellite with fully autonomous capabilities, and PROBA-V, ESA’s operational Earth observation mission based on a small satellite. The PROBA-3 satellites demonstrate precision formation flying, a foundational building block to the advancement of future multi-satellite missions.

Redwire also provides software that supports mission assessments and design of new missions such as operation in VLEO and dynamic space operations in GEO. Redwire’s digital engineering facilitates the modeling and simulation of prospective space architectures to support trade analysis, operational concepts, and testing. Redwire leverages high-fidelity digital engineering tools and

Redwire is developing critical space infrastructure that is impacting our terrestrial economy in areas, such as national security, global defense, telecommunications, navigation and timing, and Earth observation.

Power generation is critical for space missions and Redwire offers a variety of solar array solutions for spacecraft, spanning the spectrum of size, power needs, and desired orbit. Redwire’s proprietary technologies, technical experience, and large-scale production facilities enable the Company to design, build, and deliver competitive power generation solutions tailored to customer needs. Redwire’s patented and award-winning Roll-Out Solar Array (“ROSA”) technology features an innovative “roll-out” design that uses composite booms to serve as both the primary structural elements and the deployment actuator, and a modular photovoltaic blanket assembly that can be configured into a variety of solar array architectures. When configured for launch, ROSA stows into a compact cylindrical volume yielding efficient space utilization, which allows extremely large solar arrays to be stowed compactly within launch vehicles.

Redwire’s power systems have successfully deployed on several flight missions in LEO, GEO, and deep space, including on the ISS, NASA’s Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (“IXPE”) mission, and NASA’s DART mission.

Additionally, to enable some of humanity’s most advanced missions in LEO and deep space, Redwire has developed a state-of-the-art docking system, the International Berthing and Docking Mechanism (“IBDM”), to support autonomous rendezvous and docking capabilities for spacecraft. The IBDM is fully computer-controlled and designed for use with both large mass and lightweight spacecraft. Redwire’s IBDM system is fully aligned with the international docking system standard and can be used for autonomous docking of crewed vehicles, cargo vehicles station modules as well as resource transfer through automated umbilical mating.

Microgravity Development

Microgravity provides unique conditions for scientific exploration which cannot be replicated on Earth. Redwire’s microgravity payloads are enabling next-generation capabilities and services, including space-based biotechnology applications, plant and animal science, in-space additive manufacturing, in-space advanced material manufacturing and support of human exploration and habitation. There are currently eleven active payload facilities built by Redwire on the ISS as of December 31, 2025.

The microgravity environment enables certain products and materials to be manufactured with enhanced and/or differentiated properties that are not comparable to products manufactured on Earth. These products and materials include the production of pharmaceutical seed crystals used for drug development processes as pharmaceutical companies look to deliver new, optimized treatments for patients on Earth. The Redwire Pharmaceutical In-space Laboratory – Bio-crystal Optimization eXperiment (“PIL-BOX”) payload offers pharmaceutical companies and researchers access to leverage the microgravity environment to grow crystals of protein-based pharmaceuticals and other key molecules. Redwire has launched 42 PIL-BOXes through December 31, 2025, for our partners including, but not limited to, Bristol Myers Squibb and Eli Lilly. Additionally, during 2025, Redwire entered into a licensing agreement with ExesaLibero Pharma, Inc., which provides for Redwire to receive royalties from any commercial sales of resulting pharmaceutical products.

In support of NASA’s Artemis program, we are also engaged in lunar research related to communications and navigation solutions as well as in-situ resource utilization. Redwire is developing Mason, which seeks to build critical infrastructure on the surface of the Moon, including shielding structures (e.g., berms), landing pads, roads, and foundations for habitats. These developments aim to aid in establishing long-term infrastructure to sustain humans on the moon, Mars, and beyond.

Defense Tech Segment Business Strategy

Redwire’s Defense Tech segment focuses on delivering combat-proven autonomous systems, optical sensors, advanced optics, resilient energy solutions and radio frequency payloads that provide intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities for customers including the U.S. Department of War (“DoW”, formerly known as the Department of Defense), U.S. Federal Civilian Agencies and allied governments across multiple domains.

The Stalker Block 30 has been proven in operations worldwide for two decades, with thousands of flight hours across six continents, meeting mission needs for customers including, but not limited to, the U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Army, and Five Eyes partners. An adaptable small UAS (“sUAS”), the Stalker provides long-endurance, long-range mission support in a wide variety of environments. Network-based avionics support multiple payloads simultaneously, rapid payload integration, and allow for configuration flexibility. The Stalker Block 30 performs fully autonomous Vertical Take Off and Landing (“VTOL”) with no operator input required. Using either a solid oxide fuel cell (“SOFC”) or a rechargeable battery, the Stalker provides the endurance needed to complete complex aerial operations.

As a leading provider of UAS, Redwire Defense Tech continuously enhances the performance of its products based on direct user feedback and years of deployed operations. Redwire Defense Tech’s mission-focused innovation enables it to meet customer needs with solutions that are ready for operational deployment.

The Stalker Block 40 is expected to provide a major performance enhancement to the field-proven Stalker Block 30. Through a series of subsystem upgrades, Redwire has doubled the flight endurance and payload capacity of the base Stalker system, closing the gap between the capabilities of sUAS and large UAS. With the flexibility and adaptability to host a wide variety of configurations, the Stalker Block 40 should not only meet the demanding mission challenges currently faced by today’s UAS but anticipates potential issues facing the battlefields of the future.

The Penguin C Mk2 is a long-endurance, long-range UAS designed for demanding operations, with endurance of up to 25 hours (payload dependent) and a line-of-sight range of 180km. The Penguin C Mk2 is designed to be modular, and can be adapted to meet multiple mission needs with a wide variety of payloads (e.g., when equipped with advanced Electro-Optical/Infrared (“EO/IR”) payloads, the Penguin C Mk2 delivers long-rang surveillance solutions under even the most challenging of circumstances). Real-time or near real-time visual communications allow decision-makers a situational awareness advantage while keeping operators out of harm’s way. Selected heritage for the Penguin C Mk2 includes the Ukraine Armed Forces, Latvia Ministry of Defense, and commercial operations, among others.

As a fully-automated, long-endurance UAS, the Penguin C VTOL has the ability to take off and land anywhere, which enables rapid deployment to support critical missions, even when the environment is harsh or contested. Modular and adaptable, the Penguin C VTOL meets a variety of mission needs with a wide range of payload options (e.g., when equipped with advanced EO/IR payloads, the Penguin C VTOL is well-equipped to perform observation, inspection, and surveillance tasks such as day and nighttime object tracking and small moving target indication). Selected heritage for the Penguin C VTOL includes the Latvia Ministry of Defense, Lithuania Ministry of Defense, and Royal Saudi Air Force, among others.

Sensors and Payloads

Our sensor and payload offerings support multi-domain missions ranging from airborne intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (“ISR”) to space-based guidance, navigation, and control (“GN&C”) systems.

Redwire is the OEM for the Octopus line of ISR and optical gimbal camera payloads for airborne applications. These optronic surveillance systems are developed for either crewed or uncrewed systems and offer robust capabilities across missions and vehicles. Designed to face harsh conditions, Octopus payloads are ruggedized with an advanced magnesium structure assembled in a protected, fully sealed, dry gas environment. Operators using Octopus payloads receive accurate information through onboard data enhancement including overlays, digital zoom, and recording. A stabilized picture is crucial to providing accurate data, and our systems come pre-installed with software stabilization and roll correction, ensuring high-definition imagery that is normally reserved for much larger, heavier, and more expensive gimbals requiring a larger and more expensive aircraft.

Satellites that go into orbit generally require sensors and avionics systems. Redwire has developed advanced capabilities in these critical subsectors of the space supply chain with more than 50 years of on-orbit heritage. We provide a variety of space-qualified sensors and avionics systems, including a comprehensive range of sensors, such as star trackers and sun sensors that are critical for accurate navigation and control of spacecraft and camera systems. We specialize in core avionics, such as scalable power distribution, radio frequency front ends, and on-board computing capabilities, with an emphasis on reliability, quality, and radiation tolerance. These specialized avionics and sensors can be applied across multiple space environments, including LEO, GEO, Cis-lunar, and deep space missions.

Spacecraft payloads are the set of instruments that perform the satellite’s primary mission such as sensing, imaging, and communication. Redwire is engaged in payloads for infrared imaging, space situational awareness, positioning, navigation and timing (“PNT”), and radio frequency (“RF”) communications. RF communications systems are used as a primary payload, such as a link in a communications chain; to transport data to ground from other key sensor payloads; a primary sensor by sensing the emissions from other users; or as a secondary payload in order to transmit and receive key spacecraft telemetry and control signals. These systems support a variety of satellite applications, including encrypted tactical communications, signal detection and positioning. We have also invested in an RF testing capability that was custom tailored to the specific needs of small satellite communications and sensor payloads in proliferated LEO.

One example of an operationally-fielded Redwire payload is a Link-16 compatible RF system which successfully demonstrated the first-ever transmission of a Link-16 signal from space to ground. Such antennas are used as part of a multi-domain network employed by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (“NATO”) members and other nations, which can be used to facilitate the exchange of jam-resistant, encrypted tactical data from space in near-real time between military aircraft, ships and ground forces. Link-16 antennas, including ours, are critical to U.S. commercial and defense applications with specialized applications focused on serving environments that have historically been difficult to close beyond line-of-sight links. Redwire is also delivering multiple advanced RF payloads for a constellation of satellites for a national security satellite constellation in LEO.

Backlog

We view growth in backlog as a key measure of our business development. As of December 31, 2025, our total contracted backlog was $411.2 million of which $299.8 million related to the Space segment and $111.4 million related to the Defense Tech segment. Contracted backlog represents the estimated dollar value of firm funded executed contracts for which work has not been performed (also known as the remaining performance obligations on a contract). For further information, refer to “Backlog” in Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”.

Seasonality

No material portion of our business is considered to be seasonal. Various factors can affect the distribution of our revenue between accounting periods, including the timing of contract awards and the timing and availability of customer funding, as well as the timing of product deliveries and customer acceptance.

Customers and Strategic Partnerships / Relationships

Our product offerings are designed to meet the needs of a wide variety of national security, civil, and commercial public and private entities operating across aerospace and defense. Redwire supplies a wide variety of technologies in support of U.S. and allied countries’ multi-domain national security objectives and performs either directly or through large prime contractors for many U.S. national security agencies, including but not limited to, the U.S. Army, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Space Force, DARPA, the National Reconnaissance Office (“NRO”), and allied national security agencies.

Civil customers are generally governmental entities that are not funded by defense budgets. Redwire performs either directly or through large prime contractors for civil agencies, including but not limited to NASA, ESA, and European national space agencies.

Competition

Redwire operates in competitive market segments that are sensitive to technological advances. We generally encounter highly diverse competition to win contracts from other firms, including lower and mid-tier federal contractors with specialized capabilities and large defense contractors with broad capabilities. In each of our market segments, some of our competitors are larger than Redwire and can maintain higher levels of expenditures for research and development. As such, we concentrate on the opportunities we believe are compatible with our resources, overall technological capabilities and objectives. Principal competitive factors in these market segments are product quality and reliability; technological capabilities, including reliable, resilient and innovative multi-domain offerings; service; past performance; ability to develop and implement complex, integrated solutions; ability to meet delivery schedules; and cost-effectiveness. We believe that we compete favorably on the basis of these factors.

We frequently “partner” or are involved in subcontracting and teaming relationships with companies that are, from time to time, competitors on other programs. We compete domestically and internationally against space systems components providers, including Airbus, Sodern, Rocket Lab USA, Inc. (a segment of Rocket Labs), UAS providers, including AeroVironment, Inc., Insitu, A Boeing Company, and Shield AI; and in some instances against larger companies such as Anduril Industries and Northrop Grumman. As a result of our M&A strategy, the Company’s total accessible market has evolved over time and changed our competitive platform, which has historically included non-traditional aerospace and defense contractors and occasionally large aerospace and defense companies. Our customers could decide to pursue one or more of our product development areas as a core competency and insource that technology development and production rather than purchase that capability from us as a supplier. This competition could result in fewer customer orders and a loss of market share.

In addition, some of our foreign competitors currently benefit from, and others may benefit in the future from, protective measures by their home countries where governments are providing financial support, including significant investments in the development of new technologies. Government support of this nature greatly reduces the commercial risks associated with space technology development activities for these competitors. This market dynamic may result in increased pricing pressure and impact other competitive factors.

Resources

Research and Development

Redwire’s business strategy is dependent on technological advancements that support our existing and future space and defense technology offerings. As a result, through internally and externally funded research and development projects, we invest in the strategic focus areas outlined above with particular emphasis on areas of significant growth and long-term opportunity. Looking forward, we expect to continue this investment into the areas we believe offer the greatest opportunities for sustained growth and profitability.

We conduct research and development principally in the U.S. and Europe. Research and development expenses were $19.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Intellectual Property

We own a substantial intellectual property portfolio that includes many U.S. and foreign patents, as well as many U.S. trademarks, domain names, and copyrights. We actively pursue internal development of intellectual property. In addition to our patent portfolio, we own other intellectual property such as unpatented trade secrets, subject matter expertise, data and software. Additionally, we rely on licenses of certain intellectual property to conduct our business operations, including certain proprietary rights licensed to and from third parties. While our intellectual property rights in the aggregate are important to our operations, we do not believe any particular trade secret, patent, trademark, copyright, license, or other intellectual property right is of such importance that its loss, expiration or termination would have a material effect on our business.

Raw Materials and Suppliers

In manufacturing our products, we use our own production capabilities as well as a base of third-party suppliers and subcontractors. Certain aspects of our manufacturing activities require relatively scarce raw materials; occasionally, we have experienced difficulty in our ability to procure raw materials, components, sub-assemblies, and other supplies required in our manufacturing process.

Regulatory

Federal Communications Commission

The regulations, policies and guidance issued by the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) apply to the operation of our spacecraft and certain sUAS platforms. When we communicate with our spacecraft using any part of the electromagnetic spectrum, we are operating a space station to which FCC regulations apply. Similarly, certain of our sUAS operations require FCC authorization for radio frequency communications and command and control links. Operators of regulated space stations and sUAS platforms are required to hold and maintain compliance with proper licenses throughout the duration of any given mission.

Page 8

In late 2025, the FCC issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, titled "Space Modernization for the 21st Century," which proposes to replace the existing Part 25 satellite licensing framework with a new Part 100. This overhaul seeks to implement a "modular" licensing process and performance-based standards that may apply to our future spacecraft and orbital activities. Additionally, these proposed rules include new operational, technical, and financial requirements such as updated surety bond structures and space situational awareness data sharing for all commercial space operators and sUAS communications systems subject to U.S. jurisdiction. If finalized, these rules could require changes to our system designs and increase compliance costs in order to secure or maintain spectrum licensure for both spacecraft and sUAS platforms.

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

Redwire spacecraft operate with space-qualified photographic equipment installed. While primarily intended to function as mission assurance tools, these cameras are capable of capturing incidental Earth imagery while in orbit. As such, these cameras are subject to the licensing requirements and regulations of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association’s (“NOAA") Commercial Report Sensing Regulatory Affairs (“CRSRA”) office.

The Federal Aviation Administration

As a participant in launch activities, we are indirectly subject to the license requirements of the Federal Aviation Administration’s (“FAA”) Office of Commercial Space Transportation (“AST”). The FAA regulates the airspace of the United States, through which launch vehicles must fly during launch to orbit. The AST office predominantly processes launch license requests submitted by launch vehicle operators, which include information on the constituent payloads flying on any given mission. As a result, reviews of our payloads by AST will occur before or during, for example, the processing of a launch vehicle provider launch license.

Export Controls

Our orbital infrastructure business is subject to, and we must comply with, stringent U.S. and international import and export control laws, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (“ITAR”), Export Administration Regulations (“EAR”) of the Bureau of Industry and Security of the U.S. Department of Commerce, and the European Union (“EU”) export controls. The ITAR generally restricts the export of hardware, software, technical data and services that have defense or strategic applications. The EAR and EU export controls similarly regulate the export of hardware, software and technology that has commercial or “dual-use” applications (i.e., for both military and commercial applications) or that have less sensitive military or space-related applications that are not subject to the ITAR. The regulations exist to advance the national security and foreign policy interests of the U.S. and EU, as applicable.
