CACI International Inc (NYSE: CACI) has officially opened its new Manufacturing Center of Excellence for Defense Electronics in the Greater Rochester, New York area. The 61,000-square-foot facility more than triples CACI's manufacturing footprint and will serve as a production hub for advanced electronic warfare technologies designed to give U.S. forces an edge in contested environments.
A New Hub for Electronic Warfare Manufacturing
The Rochester facility marks the next chapter in CACI's long-term investment in the region and its broader transformation into a technology-first national security company. It will handle the development, testing, assembly, and delivery of advanced electronic warfare systems, expanding CACI's manufacturing space by more than 300%.
Company leadership pointed to Rochester's talent pool and manufacturing expertise as key reasons for the expansion, positioning CACI to deliver advanced capabilities faster and at greater scale as demand for electronic warfare technology grows.
"This ribbon cutting reflects CACI's long-term commitment to Rochester and to delivering the advanced technologies our customers need to win in increasingly contested environments."— John Mengucci, President and CEO, CACI International Inc
Powering the TLS Manpack Program
The facility will support production, delivery, training, customer acceptance testing, and onsite storage for the Terrestrial Layer System Brigade Combat Team Manpack (TLS BCT Manpack) program with the U.S. Army. TLS Manpack equips dismounted soldiers with electronic warfare technology built to help the Army dominate the electromagnetic battlespace, and the new site leaves room for CACI to scale production of this and other software-defined systems.
Beyond CACI's own operations, the TLS Manpack production line supports dozens of small manufacturing and fabrication suppliers across Upstate New York, extending the facility's economic impact well beyond Rochester itself.
