  • Ravelin Defense represents the strategic union of two established American defense manufacturers, ArmorWorks Enterprises and Fox Valley Metal Tech, creating a single entity with integrated capabilities in survivability and precision manufacturing. The company operates as a portfolio company of Littlejohn Capital. The formation of Ravelin Defense was finalized in June 2026, culminating from the March 2024 acquisition of Fox Valley Metal Tech by ArmorWorks. This merger combines over six decades of defense manufacturing experience, positioning Ravelin Defense to compete for larger, multi-domain defense programs. The company's name is inspired by a 'ravelin,' a triangular fortification designed to provide layered protection, reflecting the firm's mission to protect and enable warfighters. The firm is headquartered in Chandler, Arizona, with additional manufacturing operations in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Historically, the two legacy companies brought distinct expertise. ArmorWorks, founded in 1996, developed a reputation over three decades for its survivability solutions, including advanced armor systems, crew protection, and blast-mitigation technologies for land, sea, and air platforms. Fox Valley's work includes contributions to the Columbia-class submarine, Ford-class aircraft carriers, and Arleigh Burke destroyers. Ravelin Defense operates as a 'scalable prime,' aiming to provide the engineering depth and manufacturing scale of a large prime contractor with the agility of a smaller specialist. Its business model focuses on serving the U.S. Department of Defense and its global partners as both a prime and subcontractor. The company's product portfolio is extensive, including composite and steel armor, blast-attenuating seating (ShockRide™), precision enclosures, watertight doors and hatches, nuclear security systems, and signature management (camouflage) solutions. This allows Ravelin Defense to offer vertically integrated solutions, from design and engineering to full-rate production and lifecycle support across military and commercial markets.

For instance, the flagship Phoenix A600 Turbo was introduced with a price point under $100,000. The company also supplies spare parts to the extensive existing global fleet of RotorWay helicopters.Rotor X's primary offering is the Phoenix A600 Turbo, an evolution of the former RotorWay A600 Talon Turbo.
