About StrikeCore
Strength Through Innovation.™
StrikeCore is a Michigan-based defense technology company developing next-generation small arms, Counter-UAS systems, unmanned platforms, and mission-focused technologies for commercial, law enforcement, government, and defense customers.
Our approach is built around a simple principle: meaningful innovation should solve real operational problems.
Rather than developing technology in isolation, StrikeCore works with experienced operators, engineers, aviation professionals, manufacturers, law enforcement personnel, and strategic partners to identify capability gaps and build practical solutions around the people who will ultimately use them.
What We Do
StrikeCore’s work spans several complementary areas of defense and public-safety technology.
Next-Generation Small Arms
StrikeCore develops modernized M4-platform systems centered around improved ergonomics, interoperability, sustainability, and practical innovation.
Our T1 Thunder™ series incorporates StrikeCore’s proprietary DAS™ Direct Actuation System, a side-forward, non-reciprocating actuation system designed to improve weapon manipulation while retaining the familiar M4 manual of arms and traditional rear charging handle.
Our goal is not to replace proven systems simply for the sake of change. It is to improve them where meaningful improvements can be made while preserving the support infrastructure, familiarity, and compatibility that operators already rely on.
Counter-UAS & Unmanned Systems
StrikeCore is developing modular technologies intended to address the rapidly evolving threat posed by small unmanned aircraft.
Our Counter-UAS efforts include the DPG™ Drone Platform Gun, the Bandit™ UAS platform, and other technologies intended to support layered detection, tracking, integration, and defeat capabilities.
These programs are being developed with an emphasis on multi-domain, modularity, low weight, platform integration, and practical deployment.
UAS Training & Public Safety
StrikeCore provides professional UAS training for law enforcement, public safety agencies, and government operators.
Our Law Enforcement Remote Pilot Certification & Tactical Application Program combines FAA Part 107 knowledge with practical public-safety applications, including airspace awareness, weather, mission planning, risk management, emergency procedures, night operations, and scenario-based decision-making.
The objective is not simply to prepare students for an FAA exam. It is to help agencies develop safer, more capable, and more professional UAS operators.
Special Projects & Advanced Technology
StrikeCore also participates in selected projects involving aerospace systems, composites, energy technologies, advanced manufacturing, unmanned systems, and other mission-focused applications.
We actively look for opportunities where our team, strategic partners, and technical network can bring together multiple disciplines to solve complex problems.

Strength Through Innovation.™
Built Around Proven Systems
We believe modernization does not always require abandoning what already works.
Many StrikeCore programs are built around proven architectures, established supply chains, familiar operating procedures, and existing support infrastructure.
That philosophy is especially important in military and law enforcement environments, where reliability, maintainability, training continuity, interoperability, and replacement-parts availability can be just as important as raw performance.
Our goal is to introduce meaningful improvements without creating unnecessary complexity for the end user.
Operator-Informed Development
The people using equipment in the field often understand its shortcomings better than anyone else.
StrikeCore actively seeks input from military personnel, law enforcement officers, aviation professionals, technical specialists, and other experienced end users throughout the development process.
That feedback helps us focus on practical issues such as:
Ergonomics
Reliability
Equipment compatibility
Weight
Sustainment
Training requirements
Mission effectiveness
Field maintainability
We build with the operator in mind from the beginning—not after the product is finished.
Our Mission
To develop practical, mission-ready technologies that improve capability without sacrificing reliability, interoperability, or sustainability.
Whether we are improving a proven small-arms platform, developing a new Counter-UAS capability, training a law enforcement UAS team, or supporting an advanced technology project, our objective remains the same:
Identify the problem. Develop the solution. Deliver meaningful capability.
Who We Serve
StrikeCore develops products, training, and technology for a broad range of qualified customers and partners, including:
Commercial firearm customers
Federal, state, and local law enforcement
Public-safety agencies
U.S. government organizations
Military and defense customers
Qualified international customers
Firearm dealers and distributors
Manufacturers
Technology companies
Strategic development partners
Product availability, demonstrations, sales, and program participation are subject to applicable laws, regulations, licensing requirements, export controls, development status, and customer qualification.
Partnerships That Expand Capability
Modern defense and technology programs increasingly require expertise across multiple disciplines.
StrikeCore believes strong partnerships allow smaller, specialized organizations to move faster while maintaining access to world-class capabilities.
We work with partners across manufacturing, aerospace, engineering, artificial intelligence, composites, energy storage, machining, and other technical fields.
For customers, this means StrikeCore can serve as a focused point of coordination while drawing on a much broader technical and manufacturing network.
