Our Mission Inventing Advantage

At AV, we build shoulder-to-shoulder with our customers—working side-by-side to deliver systems shaped by real-world missions, not theoretical requirements. This deep, operational connection drives everything we do.

• Innovation isn’t a buzzword here—it’s a direct result of proximity. We stay close to the warfighter, listen intently, and invest boldly in internal R&D to solve problems others overlook.
• Agility is our response to urgency. Because we’re embedded in the mission, we can move fast, adapt quickly, and scale affordably - bringing battle-ready solutions to the field faster than traditional primes.
• Mission-first execution is our standard. We don’t build for show - we build for the fight. Every capability we deliver reflects the insight and intent of a team that understands what’s at stake.
  
  

Our Values

• People-first culture. We demonstrate integrity and ethical conduct in all our actions. We listen attentively, speak candidly and treat others respectfully. We work together as a team to win.
• Results + ownership. We act in the interest of all our stakeholders, beyond that of ourselves and our teams. We take ownership and are accountable for our outcomes.
• Innovate + simplify. We are originators: curious and relentless in the pursuit of new, innovative solutions and improvements. We look for new ideas everywhere and are committed to ensuring that the best ideas win.
• Dedication to customers. We strive to earn and keep our customers’ trust. We make a positive difference in our customers’ lives by understanding, anticipating and responding with agility to their needs.
• Evolve to dominate. We don’t copy or compete; we set the standard by continuously adapting to emerging threats, ensuring warfighters always have the upper hand.
  
  

Our systems perform where it matters most: on the battlefield. We scale what works, refine what doesn’t, and never stop improving.

MacCready Works is where we engineer the future - developing next-gen autonomy, AI, software, and strike technologies that keep AV at the forefront of defense innovation.

“AV is driven by a deep commitment to the warfighter’s mission and built on trusted relationships with our customers. That partnership inspires us to solve tomorrow’s battlefield challenges today—just as we did when we pioneered the small uncrewed aircraft systems and loitering munitions markets. These innovations have delivered proven advantages in combat and continue to shape the future of modern warfare.”

Today, AV continues to honor MacCready’s spirit of audacity and invention—pushing boundaries, delivering autonomy at scale, and shaping a new era of defense dominance.
