Enigma Aerospace has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Re:Build Manufacturing to develop and produce its Phoenix P-1000 autonomous logistics aircraft at scale. The partnership pairs Enigma's runway-independent cargo drone with Re:Build's Lean manufacturing capabilities and nationwide industrial footprint. The Phoenix P-1000 is designed for contested environments, carrying 1,000-pound payloads over 2,100 nautical miles. The companies are targeting first article flight testing and low-rate production within 12 months, scaling to thousands of aircraft annually. Re:Build brings approximately one million square feet of manufacturing space and over 1,200 employees across nine states. Founded by former Amazon executive Jeff Wilke and Miles Arnone, the company uses Manufacturing Constrained Design methodology. Enigma, based in Burlington, Massachusetts, has secured $5 million in Department of War funding.

Enigma Aerospace has emerged from stealth with $7 million in venture and Department of War funding to build autonomous logistics systems for contested military environments. The Burlington, Massachusetts-based company aims to deliver its capability to warfighters by 2027. Founded by veterans from American Robotics, Ondas, Carnegie Mellon, Stanford and the US Air Force, Enigma has developed two core products. Phoenix is an autonomous cargo aircraft capable of delivering up to 1,000 pounds over 2,000 nautical miles without runways, using proprietary DropPod technology. Strata is a logistics orchestration platform for mission planning and fleet coordination. The system addresses sustainment challenges for distributed forces in contested environments by enabling runway-independent delivery in GPS-denied conditions. Enigma is backed by Cybernetix Ventures, Valia Ventures and US Air Force funding.
