1 weapons

CoAspire moved from services and government-support work into missile production around the RAACM family, with public company material describing the firm as a U.S. Government prime contractor and subcontractor. Its missile work centers on low-cost, additively manufactured cruise missiles intended to reduce tooling, touch labor, and supplier lock-in while scaling production for U.S. and allied requirements.

The company lists headquarters in Fairfax, Virginia, and a production facility in Manassas, Virginia. CoAspire says RAACM has entered full-rate production at the Manassas plant, while city and company material describe the facility as an assembly, testing, and manufacturing site. Government and defense-reporting sources separately connect CoAspire to the U.S. Extended Range Attack Munition program and the possible Ukraine ERAM foreign military sale.
