Voyager Technologies has commenced construction on an expansion project at the Voyager American Defense Complex in Pueblo, Colorado.
This comes in response to the Pentagon’s request for industry to speed up domestic missile defence and tactical munitions production.

The expanded complex will cover 150,000ft2 within PuebloPlex’s 16,000 acres and include over 1,000 earth-covered magazines.
Its purpose is to boost the output of weapon system components, propulsion systems, and energetic grains used by the US military. The enlarged facility will also enable further development of Voyager’s proprietary controllable propulsion technologies.
Furthermore, the site will accommodate chemical and black powder development programmes that have received more than $39m in federal funding, supporting efforts to re-establish these manufacturing capabilities within the US.
The facility aims to integrate design, manufacturing, assembly and testing processes by combining telemetry data with AI-driven supply chain management in order to reduce lead times and expedite delivery.

By GlobalDataVoyager intends to implement advanced robotics and automation technologies at the facility, a move expected to improve efficiency in clean-sheet design and live testing activities.
According to the company, this approach may allow for up to 90% greater efficiency, producing higher output rates with a focus on safety and scalability.
H.E. Whitlock, a contractor based in Pueblo, is overseeing construction activities and is employing more than 75 local tradespeople and subcontractors for the project.
The expansion is set to reinforce the region’s role in the US munitions and energetics supply chain.
Voyager co-founder and president Matt Kuta said: “We are building the capacity the Pentagon is counting on to achieve President Trump’s peace through strength mandate.
“As global threats increase and the Department of War accelerates missile-defence and tactical-munitions orders, Voyager is expanding the US industrial base with the capacity, scale and speed needed to meet national-security demand.”
Pueblo Army Depot was designated surplus federal property in 2013. PuebloPlex, formerly known as Pueblo Depot Activity Development Authority, currently manages redevelopment initiatives focused on economic growth and job creation at the site.
