Ares Industries
Make more missiles — affordable, mass-manufacturable weapons built to be fielded en masse.
Ares Industries is a defense startup developing mass-producible cruise missiles called Maverick and Goose, designed to provide precision strike capability at drone-level costs. The munitions launch from standard CONEX shipping containers and are intended for large-scale deployment by ground and naval forces. The company aims to address the U.S. and allied munitions shortage by enabling automotive-scale manufacturing of hundreds of thousands of missiles per year.
Maverick and Goose are containerized, mid-subsonic cruise missiles built from commercially available components with vertical integration of critical subsystems, enabling high-volume production at five-figure unit costs and launch from standard CONEX containers.
