The DoD Accelerator Managed by Accuidity Capital Management Announces a $6 Million Series A Investment in Baxter Aerospace
-
Deployable Communications Kits – Baxter is provisioning aircraft and field-deployed platforms with broadband satellite communications systems to support austere operations across firefighting, disaster response, and defense missions. These systems incorporate compact, mobile terminals enabled by leading low Earth orbit (“LEO”) networks, procured through formal reseller agreements and operated on a wide array of
U.S. government public safety use cases. -
BA-1 Dragonfly Unmanned Aircraft –
A Group 3 VTOL (vertical takeoff and landing) unmanned aircraft (“UAS” or “unmanned aerial system”) purpose-built for persistent ISR (“intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance”) and data relay, Dragonfly features thrust vectoring, modular payloads, and over 12 hours of endurance. It supports situational awareness in comms-denied environments, aligning with next-generation CONOPs across defense and public safety operations. -
Precision Components for Energy Systems – Leveraging its vertically integrated factory, Baxter also manufactures bespoke, ultra-high-reliability components for the fusion and nuclear energy sectors, serving customers in defense and critical infrastructure.
“The DoD Accelerator was founded specifically to support companies like Baxter—technically capable, revenue-generating, and punching way above their weight in the defense ecosystem,” said
The DoD Accelerator is a fund targeting early-stage growth companies with transformative dual-use technologies and real revenue traction. Managed by experienced operators from the defense domain and senior investment professionals, the DoD Accelerator provides funding that enables companies to unlock direct pathways to defense procurement and fielded impact.
The investment will support rapid production scale-up for both the Dragonfly Unmanned Aircraft and the Deployable Communications Kits, expand field operations, and enhance Baxter’s ability to respond rapidly to government demand.
“The DoD Accelerator is the ideal partner as we expand into multiple defense programs,” said
