Investment Summary
Saber Defense is an American Tier-One platform purpose-built for attritable mass and precision munitions. Ammunition is the near-term cash engine. Helix Swarm™ is the high-growth autonomy franchise. Support & Command is the high-margin services layer. Catapult is the launch enabler. Together they close a kill-chain that no single-point competitor can replicate — and ammunition free cash flow finances a material share of the scale-up.
Vertical integration + self-funding
Owned manufacturing, a $745M Helix IP estate, and ammunition free cash flow that internally funds $250M+ of Helix and Catapult ramp reduce external capital intensity and de-risk scale-up.
End-to-end kill-chain mass
Catapult high-rate launch, Helix attritable swarm, Support & Command Digital Twin training and CLS, plus ammunition logistics form a closed-loop capability no pure-play competitor matches.
Four-Vertical Platform
We Stand as Four
Four operating companies under a single Wyoming parent, 50/50 parent–founder ownership at each subsidiary, and a Master Management & Services Agreement that consolidates capital, IP, and governance.
Cash engine
Saber Ammunition
Precision small-arms, large-caliber, and shotgun ammunition with a path to full vertical integration of primers, casings, projectiles, and propellant. Target capacity exceeds 500 million rounds per year across 27 loaders, with ATF Type 06, ITAR registration, and Berry Amendment / DFARS domestic preference.
Y7 $1.70B38–42% EBITDA838-acre HUBZone campus, Tecumseh, Missouri
- Alpha Loading Systems for proven U.S. priming and loading machines (.22LR to .50 BMG)
- D&M Holding robotic cells for primer, propellant, and turn-key energetics
- SAAOS 42-agent factory stack for lot traceability, SPC, and compliance
- Ammunition free cash flow funds a material share of Helix and Catapult scale-up
High-growth autonomy
Helix Swarm™
A 5 kg-class fixed-wing attritable UAS built for mass: titanium-carbon EMP-hardened exoskeleton, AeroHydroCell™ hybrid power, MARL-LAC hierarchical autonomy with a neuromorphic ASIC, and a hot-swap five-cartridge payload bay (kinetic, thermal, EMP, aqua, ISR, decoy). Target rate is 120,000 units per year at a ~$152k blended ASP.
Y7 $18.24B32–36% EBITDACORE30 Building 1 · 311k SF · Dallas
- Tube, canister, and Catapult launch without compromising EMP hardening
- Helix patent estate fair-market value $745M (11 families, including MARL Omnibus)
- Prototype manufacturing path with independent TRL validation and Gate A flight / EMP test
- Aligned to Replicator, JADC2, and collaborative combat / wingman demand
High-margin services
Support & Command
Training and certification, contractor logistics support, Digital Twin mission rehearsal and after-action review, reachback C2, and FMS curriculum packages. Capital-light services that scale with fielded Helix inventory on the same SHAOS digital thread that runs production and swarm operations.
Y7 $420M55–62% EBITDACo-located with Helix in CORE30 Building 1
- Live Digital Twin training on production-representative systems
- Closed-loop telemetry from theater into curricula and the twin
- Forward / mobile detachments for theater CLS and reachback
- Recurring revenue that compounds as attritable mass is fielded
Launch enabler
Saber Catapult
Multiple Parallel Pneumatic Catapult batteries (baseline 12-rail, ASP $3.69M) delivering 25–40+ drones per minute while fully preserving Helix EMP hardening. Canister magazine end-loading, hot-swap interface, and truck, trailer, or 40-ft container mobility for distributed, no-runway operations.
Y7 $280M48–55% EBITDACORE30 Building 2 · 210,653 SF · Dallas
- High-rate launch for USMC, Navy, and allied distributed ops
- Aftermarket (spares, sabots, maintenance, refresh) ~8.5% of revenue
- Aftermarket gross margin 65–75%
- Closes the kill-chain with Helix mass and Support & Command training
Capital Architecture
Self-Funding Loop
Ammunition free cash flow is allocated at Parent to Helix production ramp and Catapult tooling — lowering net external capital required versus the headline raise.
Ammunition FCF
~$680–720M
Cumulative Y1–Y5. Dividend / intercompany loan to Parent for Helix and Catapult capex.
External overlay
~$250M+
Self-funding reduces external dependency. Series A is sized for acceleration, campus, IP, compliance, and reserve.
